Crontab & PHP help

I'm receiving the following error from my crontab and have a pretty good idea what is causing it; I just don't know what to do about it.

The error:

Code:

/bin/sh: php: command not found

The entry in crontab file

Code:

*/10 * * * * php /path/to/external.php

Now my assumption is that it cannot find the php location and is defaulting to /bin/sh. How do I locate my PHP install directory? After I find it I assume I just modify the section of code above where php is?

Issue:
whereis php
It will give you the full path to executable, then in crontab instead of php /script replace the php with the fullpath
