cron runs scripts in quite an unusual environment.

I'm not that experienced with PHP, but you might want to check that all
appropriate paths and environment variables are specified correctly when
the cronjob runs (and that it's using the expected shell).

A common way around this is to have a shell script which specifies all
the environment variables and then runs the interpreter - and then to
specify that script in your crontab.

This is OT for this list though.
