Does someone know how to schedule tasks with Linux?

I have not much experience working with Linux. I should schedule a couple of php scripts to be executed twice per day. Could someone give me some guidelines?

Thanks in advance!

In Linux, as in Unix, the scheduling application is named cron. Just look that up in any Linux manual or in Google.
