where are you trying to run it?

On your local machine, you can use the PHP-CLI:

Code: Select all

/feyd@home/>php -v
PHP 5.0.4 (cli) (built: Mar 31 2005 02:45:48)
Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.0.4-dev, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies
On the server, you can do it through cron or through other php scripts.. the variants for this are pretty large.
