Quick tip -- locate and whereis are your friends in the shell. They make
finding executables like php are a snap.
As for emailing from php/cron, it depends on how your system is set up.
Many email servers bounce any emails they receive from IPs that they can't
reverse map or otherwise identify. If your machine is on a LAN for
instance, the emails will probably get bounced.
Another thing to check is that your user account can actually use your
system's SMTP service. Email sent with php's mail() function are usually
sent by the owner of the script (or the web server's user).
