It's possible, See the MySQL FAQ for an explanation of how

Can triggers call an external application through a UDF?

But it's likely to be bad design on your part if you have to resort to this

For solve your problem you can create table for tasks. From stored procedure you can put to this table any string for task. On server you can run PHP script by crontab. Script will check this table and make some operation.
