I don't know if these were the right terms for the title but there is something I'm not sure about. Is there a way for a script to automatically execute by itself by the server without any involvement of a user?
Say for example,
"At 5:00 pm every day, the server will automatically add 1 new row of information to the database table. After 7 days, there should now be at least 7 rows within the table."
I'm not sure if thats the lingo you guys use around here or if this is the style how to explain things. But really just what Im asking is if a server can perform a php script by itself at a certain time every day that will make some sort of change to the database without the influence of say an administrator. And also, if this is possible, will it be difficult to do, and what exactly would it look like to create something like this.
