      Just use a cron job, or if on Windows, schedule a task.

              If you don't have access to a CLI version of PHP then you'll need to
              trigger the script via the webserver.

              You can invoke a web page remotely from a scheduled job using (for
              example) wget which is available for Unix/Linux/MSWindows. So even if
              you don't have access to schedule a job on the server you could set up
              the job on any internet connected machine to trigger the request.

              RTFM for how to set up a scheduled job.

                  This is an approach I have taken before.
                  In my situation it was a script that would delete old database entries
                  past a certain date, and since those updates are only needed prior to
                  being viewed by a visitor, the first visitor for that day would trigger
                  the script.
                  Its not pretty, but its effective.

                      On Unix/Linux/MacOS you might use launchd or cron, and run wget or
                      curl at scheduled times
