Run scheduled PHP script in Wordpress to save data in MySQL

Question

I have a php script that I want to run every day to persist some data in the database. What is the easiest way to achieve this ?

Does Wordpress provide some kind of scheduler event that can run some php code at a given time ? Or is creating a scheduled event in the MySQL database the correct way ?

Thank you.

scheduled events are provided mostly by the default installation of your OS. — Royal Bg, Apr 22 '14 at 08:32

If you're running on a Unix system I would recommend using cronjobs.

If you're running on Windows please take a look at this SO thread: What is the Windows version of cron?.
