This is for fun and I want to learn. I have this weatherstation that gives me a txt file every 3 minutes on local host
I wounder if I can do a php scripts that runs every 3 min and read the data in the txt file and send the to mysql
My plan is to have a crontab job running.
Here is a exampel of my textfile and descriptions:
