phpIRC uses such functionality to run such a daemon without having to use
crontab. However, PHP just doesn't do it all that fantastically on it's own.
phpIRC can often run for 3-4 days, but after that it tends to die off or
stop functioning. Meaning you can't rely on your script always running, so
often it's best not to even bother.

Best to just use crontab with a timed script or use a completely different
solution for an 'always on' program such as one written in java.

Is there anyway to ALWAYS have a script running on the server without
needing a browser to access it?

If safe mode is off you can keep setting the max execution time in a while
loop and it would run forever.  It will also use 100% cpu unless you call
sleep.
