/usr/bin/php  /home/igor/public_html/cron.php  >>/home/igor/public_html cron_log.txt  2>&1

The basic command line for cron jobs. Logs all output and errors so you can see problems.

You can move the script above public_html or into a password protected directory to keep it from "accidentally" being run from the Web.

Please note: last time I checked, PHP mail() will not work via cron.

Also: for those with the base Free account, cron jobs less than 5 minutes apart do not run.

Note: if your cPanel username isn't igor , make the adjustment to your cPanel name.

You may also wish to specify the -q flag with php to prevent it from outputting headers (e.g. /usr/bin/php -q /your/script/here)
