Reason: Fits here better

I usually just edit the /etc/crontab file. Usually it's quite well commented so there shouldn't be a lot of problems.

If it's a PHP script you want to run, you need to have a CLI (command line interface) installation of PHP. Then the command you give to cron would be something like 'php /path/to/script.php'.
