What web control panel are you using?
Many of the web control panels used by hosting companies will allow you to set up a cron job, where you can define a PHP script to be run at a defined interval.
The other methods that work reasonably well are:
1) to have a website ping your php script eg: uptime tracking software. (ping intervals are usually preset by the website)
2) set up your most run php page on your website to trigger another php page at a certain interval. (only works if you have a lot of traffic)

I think setting up Cron Job will be a good idea, Iam using CPanel.
