incuzox Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I have a little bit of php knowledge, not much. I was told this is possible, and I am looking for help as to how to do it. I would like to run a script off of my web server, that every hour inputs iformation into a field on another website and submits it . For example, racinglivecodes.com I was wondering if I could create a script that every hour inputs my code, and submits it so my code is always on the list. Any help would be appreciated, and if u can tell me exactly how to do it feel free to tell me if you would like anything graphically designed for free! Thank you.

Maq Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 You're going to need to use cURL & set up a cron tab (task scheduler for windows) to run the script. Do you have anything done yet? If you want people to give specific help you need to ask specific questions. NOTE: If you want someone to write this for you in exchange for graphical favors, I'm not saying this is what you want, but if you do, then I will move you to the freelance section.

incuzox Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Well I was not specifically looking to trade that for a design, so I felt the freelance section would be no help. I haven't done anything yet, so basically I am looking for EXACTLY what I need in code and what not. I realize it may be a pain, that is why I offered a return favor.

incuzox Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Sorry, I was actually at work and had to type quickly, therefore i wasn't too precise. I have enough knowledge to understand certain things about php, but have no Idea where to begin coding that. So I would be looking for exactly what code to use, basically already written. Im sure this is a far stretch to ask for, but worth a try. I did take a look at the cron page, and it seems pretty easy, but implementing it with the php im sure will confuse me.
