So I wrote this small script that integrates our website with our office system and I need it to run everyday at a certain time. I wanted to setup a cronjob to do it but seeing as our website is hosted with a company that wants to charge for it, I was thinking about installing php on our 2k3 server and having it run there. So my question is: Is this possible/best way to do it or is there some sort of small program that is already written to run the php script that I can use? Thanks in advance for the help.

You are going to at least need to install php on the server if you plan on running it through an interpreter, but you shouldn't need a webserver such as apache, etc... As for running it at a time interval, you are going to have to use a Scheduled Task in Windows; this should be under system tools.

Thanks for the help. I'll get Php installed and then get the task setup. Hopefully all goes well.
