You can use crontab to add/remove/edit cronjobs.

Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal.

First make sure the script is executable by running:

chmod +x YOURSCRIPT

Then run the following command to add your cronjob:

crontab -e

Add your cronjob like this:

0 * * * * /usr/local/bin/php path/of/php/file

That's it!

Your can check the current user's crontab entries by running:

crontab -l
