Is it possible to create a bot in PHP that clicks on specific links in a specific website.
If so, could i be given an example of what to use or where to read a tutorial about it.

I would really appreciate it.

p.s I am not talking about ads on websites, just normal links.

A click is a call for that page it links to, so if the site has normal links, just do file_get_contents() or use curl to access the files, and it will look like a click. Curl is probably best, as you don't need to download more than the header with right methods. The parameter to file_get_contents is the full url, but access to fetch urls can be turned off in php.ini, especially on shared hostings
