Running an Automatic PhP Script

I want to be able to run a script every morning at 7:00am. Is threre any way through PhP to schedule scripts?

I called my hosting company and short of buying the 50 to 300 a month package they had no way to schedule either backups of my MySQL database or run a PhP script on an interval.

I did a search and found a couple of threads on cron jobs but they seem to need access to the server and I don't have that being hosted and all.

Anyone have any pointers to keywords or threads that will point me in the right direction?
