Cron jobs usually are used to run a file containing a script. I was messing around with cron jobs awhile ago and found out that the php can only have php functions, it can't have any outputs or it doesn't work right.

So basically you specify a file that the php code is in and make sure it only has php stuff in it with no outputs like echo's or print's
