[thelist] php timer

[Charles Cattell]

i need to know if there is a way to automatically trigger a php script at a
certain time everyday, regardless of site activity, ect. i was told by a
co-worker that this is impossible in php, but maybe possible in c, but we
have no knowledge of c at all, or to set a command in the unix system to run
the script... any suggestions would be helpful, but i would prefer the php
way if it is possible
