It's sort of possible - I know vBulletin uses a hidden image or
something to call a file called cron.php which runs certain tasks every
X hours or so. I haven't looked at it in detail though.
If you have access to a server where you can run cron jobs though, I'd
recommend doing things that way above anything else, as PHP isn't really
the best way to implement a "do something every X <timespan>" solution.
