cronjob execution php error

Im trying to create cronjob from php, I added it to crotanb:

sudo crontab -u www-data -l:

*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/service_script/cronTest.php

cronTest.php

<?php
echo 'it works';
include_once('../core/external_init.php');

And this is the output:

it works

PHP Warning:  include_once(../core/external_init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/service_script/cronTest.php on line 3

PHP Warning:  include_once(): Failed opening '../core/external_init.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/service_script/cronTest.php on line 3

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Class 'pluginClassManagement' not found in /var/www/html/service_script/cronTest.php:6

Stack trace:
#0 {main}
  thrown in /var/www/html/service_script/cronTest.php on line 6

This cronTest.php works when I run it from browser. If I change /usr/bin/php to /usr/lib/php I get this error instead:

/bin/sh: 1: /usr/lib/php: Permission denied

I dont really know what path should be here.

I have php7, i tried all kinds of thing to make this work, setting rights, make the script executable etc but now Im stuck on this and dont know what to do anymore

Try it with an absolute include path (like /var/www/path/to/core/external_init.php). I'm pretty sure, it uses the wrong working directory when run as cron.
