Automatic script execution

[fractalbit]

Does anybody know if it is possible for a script to be executed automatically? For example, i want to create a script that checks if a user has birthday and send them an email. Although i know how to code the script i want the script to execute automatically once a day (ex. 24:00 of every day). Is there a way to achieve that or do i have to do it manually every day?

Assuming you are on a linux machine you will need to use CRON jobs. Search the forums for CRON jobs.

And if you're like me and don't have access to CRON, then you can just include the script into a page that is visited atleast once a day
