RE: [PHP] Automatically send email on special day

This have been very much discussed in this list, and the only logical way of doing this through PHP would be to have a script that reads the actual date of the server's system once a day, but that would be just impossible without having that script (page) reloaded at least once a day. I think there are two way of doing this. First, would be to setup a cron job under unix (which I don't know so I'm guessing here) and second, which is the easiest, would be to have that script in a page with refreshing META tags, so it would refresh itself every 24 or 12 hours. Does this make any sense?
