cron jobs not working?

[hlmaster]

for some reason my cron jobs wont work, Im running a php time based strategy and it requires a php file to be ran but for some reason its not working, I tried just executing the script turns.php every 1 minutes to see if it would work, but it doesnt, i can do it manually but that is not as fun... I dont know how to work cron jobs so if someone can tell me how to execute a php file with a crontab job I would greatly appreciate it

EDIT: my cronjob is

/usr/bin/php /home/hlmaster/public_html/prosance/turns.php

its set to run every 3 minutes but it does not...

Try using

php /home/hlmaster/public_html/prosance/turns.php

Also, make sure you don't leave the cron running at three minutes as we suspend crons that run at intervals lower than five minutes.

Will do, thank you for the help...

EDIT: no that doesnt work...

Try using 'php-cron ...' instead.

where ... is at is that where I put the location of my script?

EDIT:

no... heres what I have for the command just to clarify...

php-cron /home/hlmaster/public_html/promisance/turns.php

if you wish to 'check my work' my hostname is http://hlm.exofire.net
