x.php will get executed for each row.

Well, if it's *NOT* a click that makes it happen, what *DOES* make it
happen?...
Do you want it to happen every five minutes?
If so, re-compile PHP as a CGI, and use "man 5 crontab" to learn how to set
up a cron job every five minutes.

PHP *CAN* call or execute a script, if you can tell us how/when/why you
want it done...
If it's not cron you are looking for, maybe this is what you want:
http://php.net/exec
Or, perhaps this:
http://php.net/eval
Or maybe even this one:
http://php.net/virtual
The problem isn't that PHP can't do what you want -- It's that you haven't
really told us what you want to do...
When do you want x.php called, by whom, and why?
Odds are also pretty good that you are doing something the hard way instead
of the easy way, so post more about your project, and you might find
yourself getting advice that will save you much grief...
