yes, you can send mails at fixed times or at regular intervals, without executing the scripts yourself. This feature is not related to PHP. You'd need to set up a Cron Job if your server is Unix/Linux or you'll have to set up a Scheduled Task if you are on Windows.

For more info, look at this Google search.

Setting up a cron job is no brainer, its quite easy, even if you are doing it for the first time. If you have cPanel or DirectAdmin, they give the option of setting up cron with a GUI for a beginner as well for pro. You can choose the beginner GUI.

Here's a Flash tutorial for Plesk7 Reloaded
