What role does the working directory play in PHP scripts run through Cronjobs?

When running PHP scripts through Cronjobs, the working directory may not be set to the directory where the script is located. This can cause issues with file paths and include statements within the script. To solve this issue, you can use the `chdir()` function in PHP to set the working directory to the directory where the script is located before executing any file operations. 

<?php
// Set the working directory to the directory of the script
chdir(__DIR__);

// Your PHP script code here
// This code will now run with the correct working directory
?>
