Laravel command in cronjob will not executed correctly

I've edited the crontab (centos) like this:

0 6 * * * php /var/www/site/artisan eex --update=true

The crontab (/var/log/cron) shows that the command has been executed successfully: 

Dec 10 06:00:01 yyy CROND[19946]: (user) CMD (php /var/www/site/artisan eex --update=true)

However, the database has not been updated. If I start the command manually, it works fine:

[user@yyy energiems]$ php /var/www/site/artisan eex --update=true
> Updated 1 element(s) (43f70960-772c-11e4-92a4-57928d74f84f)
(...)
> Updated 1 element(s) (43fd1470-772c-11e4-b1f2-b58d1e3307a3)

Any ideas?

//edit: In addition to Dwights answer, I also noticed, that the cronjob runs in the wrong timezone. I've adjusted it to Germany and it works fine now.

Find out where the location of php is on your server with the which php command.

Then, update your crontab to reference php at it's precise location.

Odd solution I know, but I had a similar issue and this turned out to be the fix.
