php-cron /public_html/crons/cron30r.php

[garrettroyce]

are you using the full path to your file and to php? Are you using a shebang in your php file or did you set up cron with the full php path?

this guy explains it pretty well: http://bytes.com/groups/php/7002-calling-php-script-cron-need-shebang#post28578

Using regular mode (not the unix style advanced mode) you should type in this command: /usr/local/bin/php /home/{cpanel user name}/{file you want to run} then set the frequency.

I have a question, do I need to put the <?php ?> tags when using the shebangs? if so, were do I put them?

 

[garrettroyce]

tags must go after shebangs. Shebangs must be absolutely first in the file.

these mean that there is an error. check if the files '/home/lordsatw/public_html/includes/inc-setup.php' and '/home/lordsatw/public_html/includes/inc-setup.php' exists.

No, you cannot execute remote code. The file must be on the server. These errors are because you are using relative paths. It looks like all your included files are in the same folder, why don't you use set_include_path() http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php
