PHP Cronjob

Support

I've been trying to get crontab to run a php script, but with no succes. I have tried to find php, but i cannot find the binaries. I've searched the filesystem and i tried these:

 

root@lamp ~# whereis php                                                                                                      
php:
root@lamp ~# which php
root@lamp ~# 
root@lamp ~# whereis php5
php5: /etc/php5 /usr/lib/php5 /usr/share/php5 
root@lamp ~# which php5
root@lamp ~# 
 
All are not revealing the binarys. Where is that php binarie stored?

Install like this:

Right you are.
