What do you mean? A PHP script is only executed when it is told to so by
eihter Apache (via the user), a cron job, or some other method.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you want to just update a variable,
put it at the top of the script.

A few:
- Just put it at the top of the script
- Cron jobs (scheduled tasks)
- Ajax/JS
