I would like to know if its possible to write a code in php similar to a cron script to run at a particular time when there is no traffic on site, that means i want the code to run without loading the site. Also I do not want to create a cron job on the server.

You can check if server is no too busy, run a cron job:
There's a function for that: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sys-getloadavg.php
example usage:
<?php
$maxLoad = 10; //set some number of max of processes in the system
$load = sys_getloadavg();
if ($maxLoad < $load[0]) {
//run a cron job
}

without loading a site means by not accessing it, by not running the site in the browser – Sarvesh Shejwadkar Dec 26 '13 at 09:37
