Server side script

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to php, and seeking some help. I have a gsm modem that sends a file by FTP to a third party hosted server (running direct admin, apachi, php mysql etc). This file contains GPS locations and time date etc. My simple php script converts this to KML file for viewing by Google Earth. Until this script is run by a client side browser, it will not get run and there is a chance that the FTP file (which is being periodically over writen) may not get parsed and the KML may be missing data. This means I have to hit the refrest button on my Firefox every fifteen mintues :) Is it possible to get the php script to run server side automatically ( periodically). rather than be invoked by the client browser.

I am new to this and i hope i have been able to explain my question well.

Regards
