Answer 1

Why using cronjobs everyday?? Why not filter data on output. For example in your select check if post date equals today with adding a simple where:

SELECT * FROM `posts`
WHERE (DATE(`post_date`) = DATE(NOW()));

This way you're not required to do your database managements/cronjobs on any special time and it will be used just for database managements. Afterwards you can delete unnecessary data at any time using by mysql command like:

DELETE FROM `posts` WHERE (
    DATE(`post_date`) < DATE(NOW())
)
