I have this page which basically acquiring data from an outside webpage (I have permission).  There are some fields on the page which I use to compile the following page.  (this page takes at least 5-10 seconds to load).

 

http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/nyff.php

 

If you scroll down to "USGS", you will see there is a time, CFS, TEMP headers.

 

Those numbers are being pulled from other pages and compiled for my page.  My problem is that everytime someone

loads this page, it takes too long to load.  So...  Here is where I can use some help.  I'd like to maybe run a cron job

every 2hrs which pulls this information (just like I'm doing in the PHP file) and store it in my mySQL DB.  Then I can

pretty much query the fields whenever and they'll load instantaneously.

 

Can someone help me out with that or am I asking too much?  I just don't know how to get the data into the Database or how to setup the cron job in order to do it.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

make script that create this part of page "USGS" and save it in local file

 

when you need just include local file in your page

Because I would like to included these numbers within threads that are specifically related to the river searched for...

 

So for an example...  If someone did a search for West Branch, I want posted within the thread or thread page, the usgs information.  I want the info in a database so I can use it wherever I want, not just on 1 page.

 

Here is my code:

Easy way would be to check and see if the most recent database update was within the last two hours. If the database isn't recent then echo a message about the database is getting the current info and set your header or a meta refresh tag to send the client to another script that updates the numbers then displays the information. The new entry in the database would get a time stamp of the current time and everything is happy :)

What I'd like to do is get the information I already have and get it put into a mySQL database.  I will look into the DOM method but I don't know how to get it into the DB via PHP.  How would I go about placing each entry into the DB and erasing the old value that's in there?

 

THanks again!
