I would wirte a C or Perl program query database tables. If there are
event must be handled, send e-mail or whatever. Use cron, to execute
the program for certain interval. If you have many events, users or need
realtime response, you may need to use different approch so that you
don't have to query db a lot. i.e. create deamon that stores and handles
events.
If you really would like to do it with PHP, use CGI version of PHP for it.
