Windows also have something similar to cron
Schedule accessory can also be set to execute some php every xxx
minutes/days etc
For linux it is much easier ,
create file eg cron.txt that has this content
#===============================
* 1 * * * /home/user/cleanUpDB.php
#===============================
save it and than enter in console
crontab cron.txt
this will install cron job that will execute /home/user/
cleanUpDB.php script
every day at 1AM .
One note on executing PHP scripts by cron ,you may want to include
path of PHP binary as it may not be in
PATH so
* 1 * * * /library/php5/bin/php /home/user/cleanUpDB.php
where /library/php5/bin/php is absolute path to yours PHP binary file

How can you perform a timed event in PHP; for example:
Count 24 hours and then delete all rows in a database...
I thought that this question was answered in some detail before...
Anyway, on *NIX based systems use cron.daily or on 'doze, use AT or
command scheduler I think it's called.
Either that or use a long running PHP process with ignore_user_abort()
and a time of 86400 seconds :)
