Automating a script

[cyberoptik]

How would I go about uploading a PHP script to a server and then running it continually as a background process? The script needs to constantly update and send emails, and without needing to access the page to make it run. Any ideas without making a seperate C/C++ program to execute and run it?

if you are using cpanel control panel ,you can do this by cron-jobs facility.
