If you have dedicated or virtual hosting then you should be able to set up a cron job that calls PHP via command line. Actually the easiest way I've found is to use wget to fetch it as a web page, which helps if you are using frameworks or rewriting URLs instead of one single PHP file. Something like:

wget -o /dev/null "http://example.com/page"


You can use wget from any (Linux) computer anywhere. You can do similar from your own PC if you like using Scheduled Tasks.

Easiest way is to set up a cronjob that triggers a php script in php-cli.
