What I do is create a PHP script to do what I want to do, then a shellscript starting with a wget for the page. Cron the shellscript and Bob's your uncle! If PHP is compiled in CGI form, it's even easier (this really should be the recommended way of doing it, but hey, we don't all have our own webservers).
If it's your own box, compile php as a CGI and stick it somewhere outside of the web root. Use PHP like you would perl for scripting.
