Cron not passing params to PHP script

Question

I have a cron job set like

php /home/novinarb/public_html/index.php --uri=\"cron/24satahr\"

but the \'uri\' param doesn\'t get to the php

Answer 1

Is the php script running at all?

I suspect you need to provide the full path to php in your crontab line. Even though cron jobs run as you, they don't have any of your login environment set up; this means they don't have your $PATH.
