Is there is way to run a php file perodically everyday on scheduled
time in such a way that there is no human interaction and it
performence the written task.
I do this every night with several php scripts that DO things in an
unattended mode.
I make sure that I have the proper shebang (#!/usr/bin/php) as the first
statement of my script, then I create a cron job to run at the specified
time to execute the appropriate php script(s).
Works like a charm.

Not a cron job - but the first person to look at the webpage after
midnight will fire up the 'process loops' and then save the results so
they can just be read in anytime afterwards .
$junko=date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A"); $coke=substr($junko,0,5);
$filename="demo/day_popular.php";
$fp=fopen($filename,"r"); $qaz=fgets($fp); $pepsi=trim($qaz); fclose
($fp);
if ($coke<>$pepsi)
{
BLAH BLAH RUN THE LOOPS - AND SAVE THE RESULTS
$filename="demo/day_popular.php";
$fp=fopen($filename,"w"); fwrite ($fp,$coke); fwrite ($fp,"\n"); fclose
($fp);
}
