The easy way would be cron. Cron can start programs in predefined
periods. e.g. php -f /path/to/your/script.php

If you are using shared hosting and cannot access cron you should google
for webbased "cron"-services. This operates like a local cron, but its
on an remote server and con only open URLs (what might be a security risk).
