如何通过终端在localhost上执行php文件的cronjob

Question

I'm trying to do a cronjob via terminal to run a php file every minute.

I added this line in my crontab list ...

* * * * * /usr/bin/php /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/stc/testcron.php

but the file does not execute, I wonder if my way is wrong ? or I didn't get the idea of it clearly ..

update :

I'm expecting this file to add a new record in my database...

when I use the line in the above , it didn't work

but when I enter it in this way

* * * * * /usr/bin/curl —silent—compressed http://localhost/stc/testcron.php

it worked !! I don't Know if this way is correct , and what the problem of the first one.

testcron.php content

<?php

include('config/con_db.php');
$conn = db_connect();

$conn->query("INSERT INTO `locations`(`location_name`, `location_lat`, `location_long`) VALUES ('Dammam',4.4,5.5);");

?>
