 If you need to run code just once, you can do it without installing any module, including the Devel module.
 Write a PHP file (e.g. tasks.php), put it where the cron.php file that comes with Drupal is, and add the following code.
+<code>
   /**
    * Root directory of Drupal installation.
    */
   define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
   include_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
   drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
   drupal_set_time_limit(240);
+  // Your code here.
+</code>
-// Your code here.
 If you are already using Drush for maintaining/deploying your site, then you could make a Drush script. In this way, it could be executed by CLI, and it could receive any arguments, making it re-usable for many occasions.
+<code>
-#!/usr/bin/env drush
+  #!/usr/bin/env drush
-// Your code here.
+  // Your code here.
-// Access the options with drush_get_option(), or any argument with drush_shift().
+  // Access the options with drush_get_option(), or any argument with drush_shift().
+</code>
 You could also execute a PHP script with drush php-eval, for example:
-drush php-eval 'print time();'
+  drush php-eval 'print time();'
 I would create a Drush script, but if you cannot install Drush, or you need to execute PHP code from the browser, the first method works fine.
