It sounds like you need to run a (PHP-)script at regular intervals. If you are on a unix system, then you could set up a system where a given URL is loaded every - say - 5 minutes.

For this, you could put a relevant curl or wget command in your cron, requesting a URL which sends out whatever messages should be sent.

There are many other specific ways of doing it, though.

Cron is the tool to use if your web-server is on a unix system. There should be plenty of documentation about cron out there on the 'Net.

But there are many ways to use cron. It all depends on what has to be done.
