How to execute PHP code periodically in an automatic way

I am trying to find a way in PHP to load specified script in a specified time, For example if the apache server can execute a specified script, Or mabye there is an option inside the php.ini so i can add files to load in a specified times.

For example:

I want to load the script example.php this file can be found inside the root directory at the location X/Y/example.php, What i want is that the Php engine/Apache Server will execute this script at 12:00, If anyone know a way doing so i will be very thankful, Thank you all and have a nice day.

Use cron

Cron is a daemon that executes scheduled commands. Cron is started
automatically from /etc/init.d on entering multi-user runlevels. Cron
searches its spool area (/var/spool/cron/crontabs) for crontab files
(which are named after accounts in /etc/passwd); crontabs found are
loaded into memory. Note that crontabs in this directory should not be
accessed directly – the crontab command should be used to access and
update them.
