One way of doing this is to set up a cronjob that has Lynx call the script. There is a flag that is usually added as well ... I'm not sure right now but it could be '-dump': lynx -dump http://your/script/url.php This has been covered a few times in the archive if you want to check the details there. This assumes that you are on a Linux/UNIX server, and that PHP is an Apache module, not a standalone CGI installation (where you could call the script directly without using Lynx).
