Type the following at a shell prompt:
which php
This will tell you the path.
Failing that, use phpinfo(), and look for "--prefix=" in the configure line.
If it's "--configure=/usr", then the CLI version of PHP is at /usr/bin/php.
And you probably don't want to be adding the #! line due to the warnings I
wrote immediately after it. You probably want the second option, changing your
cron entry to call php with the script as an argument.
