What are common pitfalls when setting up a Cron Job in PHP?

One common pitfall when setting up a Cron Job in PHP is not specifying the correct path to the PHP executable in the Cron Job command. To solve this, you should always use the full path to the PHP executable in your Cron Job command. 

// Incorrect Cron Job command without specifying the full path to PHP executable
// * * * * * php /path/to/your/script.php

// Correct Cron Job command with full path to PHP executable
// * * * * * /usr/bin/php /path/to/your/script.php
