    30 minutes and still no answer, here's a few open doors:

    • cron reads it's rules from system-wide /etc/crontab, or from you personal crontab which you edit with crontab -e
    • cron takes a format where you say on which minute / hour / day / month things should happen, use google or man crontab for the format
    • cron has the amazing side effect of mailing the output of the command to the user owning the crontab

    Now you are stating that you're using php. The easiest way to get some php running from cron, is to issue a wget -O - -q http://yoursite.com/yourprocessingscript.php?verysecret=123123 and have an appropriate processing script on yoursite.com. (you may want to let that script check $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])

    So in short, if you just put the right magic in /etc/crontab, like

    0 0 * * * jay wget -q -O - "http://yoursite.com/processmidnight.php?secret=yes_very"
    

    and have your script produce some sensible output, you will get a mail delivered to local user jay, which you may want to forward.

    Just write a normal PHP script -- make one that will work if it's launched directly from the browser. Then schedule that very same PHP file to run in cron, using this as a guide:

    http://www.unixgeeks.org/security/newbie/unix/cron-1.html

    Basically, using the values at the beginning, specify the schedule (minute, hour, day of week, day of month, etc.). Then set the user it runs as, which is likely to be "apache" or whatever your web server daemon is running under. Then set the "command" that cron is running to be php php_email_script.php (where "php_email_script.php" is the name of your PHP file.
