Hi, How can you perform a timed event in PHP; for example: Count 24 hours and then delete all rows in a database...
    Once again, I say verily unto you: RTFM and STFW.
    Linux/*nix:  cron
    Windows:   at
Cron Example: 40 03 * * * which php /path/to/php/script.php PHP: <? include('configure.php'); // With database connection stuff, et cetera. $sql = "TRUNCATE TABLE table_name"; mysql_query($sql); ?>
of negate php all together and use cron to schedule: mysql -h hostname -u username -ppassword -e "TRUNCATE TABLE table_name"
