    Hello,

    Is it possible to have a php script execute automatically everyday at a particular hour?

    The timing is important so it can't just execute at midnight for instance.

    My server is running Linux if that matters.

    Thanks.

    Yep, that is what I'm looking for. Thanks!

    I was searching through php manuals trying to find some function that would do it. :)
