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 :)

Be sure that if you install and run this script as root, that you set it so your
script is only writable by root. You don't want someone inserting malicious
code into your script and then just blindly running that code. :)
