How to automaticly triger some actions after some time/event?

[Sinisa Culic]

Hy I am pretty new to PHP and mySQL and i am building a php site which needs to keep its database clean and neat and that needs to happen on different occasions, like when some statement is positive (like some counter embedded in a if function) then trigger something,,,, like run a file (php preferable) or do it alone,,,

Simply put i need an event listener,,,,, i hve a pretty good idea how to do it in MsSQL but i have NO CLUE how to do it in mySQL/PHP.

I am guessing that this is not possible to do in PHP becouse it is not event driven at all it only executes when the PHP file is executed,,,, If i am wrong PLEASE corect me as soon as posible XD


ENY help at all would be greatly appreciated i am planing a specialization work for 4.th year of IT engineering,,, and i am clules how to do it,,
