How can PHP scripts be scheduled to run at specific intervals without using CronJobs?

To schedule PHP scripts to run at specific intervals without using CronJobs, you can utilize a combination of PHP and JavaScript. By creating a script that runs continuously in the background and checks the current time against the desired interval, you can execute your PHP script when the interval is reached. 

<?php
// Define the interval in seconds
$interval = 60; // 1 minute

// Loop infinitely
while(true) {
    // Check if the current time is divisible by the interval
    if(time() % $interval == 0) {
        // Execute your PHP script here
        include 'your_script.php';
    }
    // Sleep for 1 second to avoid high CPU usage
    sleep(1);
}
?>
