If you're on Linux you can use cron.

I'm hosting my files in a hosting company server. I have only Cpanel. – Naourass Derouichi Nov 22 '13 at 03:05
You may need to upgrade your hosting account to one with access to SSH or a more feature-rich admin panel. Contact your company's customer service and ask them if they offer a package that will allow you to set up cron jobs. If they do not you might want to look into switching hosting companies. – Neil Girardi Nov 22 '13 at 03:18
