How can I know the errors in cron script

Question

I am trying to run the cron script. I get an email everytime cron runs but I realise that the script does not run via cron job. However, when I try to run that script using browser direct link, it works fine.

I just wondering that how can I know what is happening in background when cron runs?

I tried to write it to log file but this either does not work !

ini_set("log_errors", 1);
ini_set("error_log", "/tmp/php-error.log");
error_log( "Hello, errors!" );

Any help?

I think you have some path issue. Add your email id where you added cron job in cpanel. Then they will email you the bug when cron job runs.
