Thanks for the replies. I'm going to have to check what the server is, I'm
not the one with the hosting account, so no direct access to the server
(yet, will probably get it when I need to).

The only problem I see with thise solution here is that the page that the
script will be in won't be directly accessed, which is a requirement for
JavaScript. I plan to keep this as a hidden file, so the visitors aren't
aware of its existence. I thought of creating a script on the index that
checks the time and if it's a certain time runs the script for this, but
then I realized that there may not be a visitor calling the index at the
time I need it.

I'll look into the cron job.

Thanks again,
Alexander

If u don't have permission to ur command line;
Try to solve ur thing by using

01) Meta refresh
OR
02) JavaScript - setTimeout() function.

Is there anyway to auto execute a PHP file? I'm working on a script that

tracks activity and IPs of visitors, and then at a certain time daily
emails
me the results.

Any idea of a way to do this?
