We need to create a script (ajax or php or javascript) that will clean some tables from our database at fixed time.
We can not use server features such like Cron tab or others.
Any suggestions??? Thanks

You can do a poor mans CRON by tethering the task you need to run to another script that gets run by human interaction. So, for example, when foo.php is done it calls cron.php (synchronously or asynchronously). To limit how often cron.php actually runs (preventing excessive runs) you can store the last timestamp and compare for a certain interval (say, every 600 seconds).
This all, of course, presumes there are humans visiting your site.
