How can I make an application that will be running on it own without a user loading the application?
By putting it in a schedular. If you’re on windows you can start a browser after logging on.
Cool!!! but how can I put it in a schedular?
Search for windows task manager or cron if you are under Linux
So you mean by starting a browser on the server it will automatically launch the application? The system is going to be deployed on a server.
First please clarify your problem so we can give you an acertive answer.

No. What I mean is, thaht you can create a scheduled job calling a PHP file.
“php /yourpath/yourfile.php”
As kafe sais, if you elaborate your question/problem you can get better answers.
Some days ago I did that, using a cron job for sending email messages, but I’ve to do some hacks in the sc generated code, because when the cron job executed the application, the application didn’t found the _lib folder, so I placed this line “$this->root =’/home/site/public_html/MIPROYECTO/’;” and was run, obviously it doesn’t work if I a try from the browser.

So my question is how can I start one application directly when the server is turned on? Kind of what windows OS does(you put your application among the applications that will be executed on the start up time of the os)
On windows: grab AutoIt or AutoHotKey (do use the the ahkscript.org site then) install it.
Use a tool like AlwaysUp to make it run immediately when started…
See: http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/Apps/RunAutoHotkeyAsAWindowsService.html
Is that what you meant?
You can make the script yourself, it is pretty basic (lol!!)
or you can simply create a shortcut to your application url address and place such shortcut into the “Startup” folder. That would do the trick.
