Hi Jonathan,

PHP doesn't have anything built in that'll do this for you (at least,
nothing that I'm aware of).
The best solution is to call your script from your OS's scheduler - cron
under unix/linux, or task scheduler in Windows. I usually trigger the script
with lynx and pipe it to /dev/null, but if you have PHP compiled as a
standalone instead of a server module, you could call it directly.
Cheers
Jon
