Sounds like you need to write a daemon process to operate as a dedicated server.

Normally I would have said crontab, but with the frequency of execution and the fact that cron sends mail to you everytime it operates, you'd spam yourself to death.

I am trying to do something similar, but in Windows.

If you write your PHP page as a script, then you can create a batch file (text file with the extension .BAT) with a single line as follows:

c:\php\php.exe c:\phpscripts\script.php

where the first parameter is the path to your php executable and the second is the path to the script. Then load the Windows Task Scheduler and schedule the batch file to run whenever you want to. The Task Scheduler does not e-mail you!

Hope this helps.

you could add a refresh line, to the meta tags of the page, and set the time to 30.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="30; URL=http://www.yoursite.com/some/place/myfile.php">

This should refresh the page every 30secs, and run any code that is on the page myfile.php

You should add this code at the top of the page

huh?

You go try that and see how long that one lasts.
That's hardly a solution...
actually seems like more of a problem.
