The PHP CLI binary (should come with your distribution) can be run from
cron. Use "#!/usr/bin/env php" as the first line of your PHP script.

That should give you enough to get started (I've already used up my quota
of writing fully functional code for other people today - so you just get
hints/pointers).

Cheers,


Andy
