How to execute script once a day?

[Anon]

hi,

i have made an appointment reminder in php which is placed on the internet. it is supposed to mail me the details of an appointment when it nears.

i wanted to know how i could make a script run once a day on its own (without me going and executning the script) and without using cron job(since i have no access)?

can anyone help me?

Get a better host: you're going to be in trouble if you want a script to execute forever.

Or, if you don't mind the timing function being done on a different computer, just create a cron job somewhere else that requests the page the triggers the function. (Security for this arrangement is left as an exercise for the reader...)

mail me if you want, i'd be glad to put requesting your page in a cron job on my linux server.
