While not as elegant as some of the other suggestions above, you could 
run "screen" to create a virtual terminal that remains active (even when 
you log off), then use the "watch" command to run a script every x 
seconds like so:

watch -n 10 ./myphpscript

Use CTRL-A D to drop out of the screen terminal and leave it running in 
the background.
