If your site is 24hrs ON, then you can write your code in single page and include in the common page which is accessed everytime. e.g. we do it in includefile.php which is accessed every time when we open a site in browser.

But for this your site must be always being browsed by people, That time your code will run. And you need to put time limit,always need to set flags once the task is executed.

You can add a cronjob and use as command a php script:

*/5 * * * * php -f /path/to/script.php
