Mail script needs ran every hour, Cron not working. Help Plz, Open to Ideas? : Thank you for your time and help. Below is the fully functioning code. It works when I call it via the browser. However, I can't get my Cron job to run it. I greatly appreciate any help you have as I have tried coming up with any solution and am open to any ideas that will make this script fire off once every hour 24/7 365 so to speak. 

Info:
*Hostgator
*PHP 5.4
*Link for Hostgator Cron commands

I have tried the following:
**when doing any of these I have yet to have it add a sale to the database or send a single email**
*/opt/php54/bin/php /home1/user/public_html/Sales/scripts/sales-notif_em.php
  - Could not open input file: /home1/user/public_html/scripts/sales-notif_em.php
*php /home1/user/public_html/Sales/scripts/sales-notif_em.php
  - blank email with nothing but this showing: Content-type: text/html
*php -q /home1/lotscav1/public_html/Sales/scripts/sales_notif_me.php
  - I don't get any emails from the system of course
*/usr/bin/curl home1/user/public_html/scripts/sales-notif_em.php
  - curl: (3) <url> malformed
*any command (like php or /usr/bin/curl) that has the second half with http://website.c0m/Sales/scripts/sales_notif_em.php
  - causes a JSON Error when trying to add the Cron job

I have checked the following things:
*File permissions are 655
*Timestamp is less than an hour old under the customers table
