Thanks for the suggestion of contacting them and setting up and XML feed, the guy there said he would make a script to write to a text file which I could use. How would I open this text file in PHP I was thinking about the function fopen()?

This sounds blizzard but there is this site that gives a GPS location in plain text inside there page. I want to in PHP "borrow" this information for my own map. How would you get PHP to fetch the source and take the GPS text out?

normally INSERT queries are like "INSERT INTO table VALUES('','bob','smith')" double single quotes would be the ID you want to increment and bob would be first name field, smith last name field. Thats old school though you might be using a newer method.

after the <?php try putting (output buffering, should stop any header errors or see the stickie in this forum) ob_start();

Hi there, I am trying to develop a PHP map of a ships location. Another website provides its GPS location in a Java Applet. Is there anyway to get this information from the Applet using PHP or how would I found out howto get the information from an applet? Phil The applet is here: http://www.rms-st-helena.com/purpletest.php

surely u should put '$' instead of the '&'
