Getting an email notify when MySQL DB gets update

[specialcase]

I've searched and searched and searched, and found no recommended solutions for this:

I need to have the server send a notification email when the database (even just one specific table) has a record added to it. New record, email gets sent. However, the record was not added via Web/PHP. Short of writing a daemon that sits on the server and constantly checks to see if the DB has been updated, can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks!

Try cron or crontab ... if you're host doesn't let you set up cron jobs, then I dunno, mate ...
