Auto email without php trigger

I am trying to build a system where an email is to be generated automatically when current date = the date in mysql table column. By "automatically" I mean that it won't require any trigger from the user.

Is it possible...?

Yeah, a simple periodic polling of the date in the table. ;)
A crontab script.

You could also do it programatically whenever the first page of the day is loaded.
