I have used a scheduled task to send entries in my outgoing mail table.

The action calls the php executable; "C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.3\php.exe"

Then an argument with a -f set calls the script; -f C:\inetpub\wwwroot\xxx\tools\send-mail.php

You could also look at creating each as a task. PHP however, wont help you with this. See c# creating scheduled tasks.

I don't want server to look after every 5 minutes. – user1885057 Oct 05 '16 at 08:44
just modify the triggers or does the user defined time change? – atoms Oct 05 '16 at 08:45
Yes it can change – user1885057 Oct 05 '16 at 08:46
You could store the time in DB or file, then get the script to read that time and if less than or near current execute the command, call the script at a set interval and get it to check. If it needs to be instant, I'm not sure how or if you could modify the scheduled task dependent on just php interactions – atoms Oct 05 '16 at 08:49
