you'll need to have a cronjob to run it automaticly.

ok thanx :)

what is that?

If you're on Windows, you've probably seen scheduled tasks. Cron is just like that.

If you haven't seen scheduled tasks, the name is sort of a dead giveaway. When you use scheduled tasks, certain things execute at certain times - whatever you specify.

You can search the forums for more information on cron jobs:
