title: how can i run cron jobs with PHP?
body: <p>I'm running ubuntu 10.04 and have installed php5 via the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-common php5-curl php5-dev php5-gd php5-imagick php5-mcrypt php5-memcache php5-mhash php5-mysql php5-pspell php5-snmp php5-sqlite php5-xmlrpc php5-xsl
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my research, the following is an example of how to run cron as PHP:</p>
  
  <pre><code>00 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/john/myscript.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the problem is... i'm looking in my /usr/bin/ folder... and I do NOT see any PHP folder or symlink... basically /usr/bin/php is non-existant and I need this to run my PHP scripts as cron jobs.</p>
  
  <p>can someone tell me why (after a successful php installation) "/usr/local/bin/php" does not exist? I have check multiple online sources and "/usr/bin/php" should exist by default.  </p>
  
  <p>Please help!</p>
