i never used cron jobs before, i dont like doing things wrong, so i need to double check. I want cron to run a php file.
Tell me if the following is right:
Click on cron jobs tab in cpanel
Click on Standard
Select the time you want to run the file
type in the "Command to run:"
I wrote "/home/cpanelusername/public_html/location/file.php"
is this correct or do i have to do something else?

Looks right. Just don't forget to fill in "cpanelusername", "location", and "file.php".

yea, they were examples.
i keep getting emailed:
/bin/sh: /home/cpanelusername/public_html/location/file.php: Permission denied
any ideas on why this is?

try something like
command:
php - /home/cpanelusername/public_html/location/file.php
I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code
