First try searching and read over the many threads covering running a PHP script from Cron.

On Lotus server,

/usr/bin/php   /home/gremlin/public_html/foo.php >> /home/gremlin/public_html/cronoutput.txt  2>&1

Runs foo.php and sends standard output and error messages into cronoutput.txt.

This way you can put 'echo' statements to help with debugging the script, especially since the automatic email feature of cron jobs does not seem to work.
