Have a copy of PHP installed as a standalone binary.  Write a PHP CGI, or
better yet, PHP CLI script that does what you want.  Put the script into
a directory of the user you want the script to run as.  Just to be clear,
I mean their shell user directory, not their web directory.  Now, call
the script via the crontab of that same user.

Enjoy,
