executing php based on timer/ counter

How can I run a script based on timer / counter ? What I am trying to
do is, every 5 minutes, I want a php script to execute that searches my
database and popup a small window if the search conditions are met. I
am pretty new to php programming.
It would be great, if anybody can help me with this.

Thanks

Try it with JavaScript and a hidden iframe. The JS should reload the
iframe every 5 minutes.
