How to run screen using bash script

Question

I am developing an application on Linux CentOS server. I need to automatically after registration of each use server create a screen to run some codes in loop for user.

When I use bash script to create new screen, it can't open screen and run commands in that screen.

For example, I want to open an screen and I run a php file in that screen. I have created a bash script test.sh but when I run this using cron tab it doesn't work.

screen
php php.php

Please tell what can I do to solve this?

Why are you tagging this by cron? There is nothing related to cron in your question, and I hope very much that you are not going to start screen as a cron-job. — user1934428

But you can't start a screen session from a crontab! You don't have a terminal! — user1934428

It's quite easy to do this and such a thread already exists.
