Re: Alarm/Timer in PHP??

No. PHP simply executes a script when it is called by something. An option would be to an external 'something' automatically call PHP periodically. At that point, the script that is invoked could do periodic maintenance (check DB, warn you if date in MYSQL is < 1 week, etc.) We have a service called cronservice.com for people who don't have access to cron on their servers, but chances are you have it on your system (if it's unix-ish) or scheduled tasks (in Windows) which will accomplish the same thing, for free.
