It's most silly answer I have heard. And it is nominated as the siliest one in
the started year. What a shame!

It's not a problem for PHP itself.

No.
Please check the way You are using to start Your crontab job.
Basically, it should contain a string like:
/usr/local/bin/php -f /home/username/path/jobfile.php
Some companies configure crontab to send any output generated by user
jobs back to the user's email.
If You do not want to flood Your email address from crontab output, make sure
Your job does not output anything except error messages.
