This is for *nix. Let's say you have a php script that sends email on a specific day called mailer.php

We are going to assume that you already have cron daemon running in the background.

If you have root access to your machine, then setting up a cron job is simple as editing a file.

Open up /etc/crontab file and add the following task:

1 14 * * * root php /path/to/your/scrip/mailer.php

This means, as a root, the mailer.php script will be running daily at 02:01PM. You can change the numbers to whatever you desire.
