sngumo Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Hi, I have been given a project to make a PHP web based application which automatically (every 5 min) checks another website for some (XML based) data and automatically displays the complied results when a user visits the site. Now I was wondering how such a website is made since the projects I have done all require the user to activate the various processes in the site. Please help me out.
