need one idea

[simun]

i have a two files 1.vot and 2.vot, i wish to make a php script that check when one of this files is modified and then to copy its content to another file,

 

it is posible to do that?

I guess you could simply use filemtime() to check the modified date

 

but you'll have to use CRON or something to launch the request every XX seconds/minutes/hours ...

the problem is that i dont know how to launch request every x seconds, is there any scrypt to do that?

 

or maybe i can put filemtime() script on my index.php page to check the lastest modified file on every reload and to copy its content to another file?

that 'll work...

however, do have a look at CRON...

 

it basically CRON is a services installed on your server that launches a PHP script every xx seconds.

 

a quick google on CRON and PHP gave me quite some interesting results

http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/introducing-cron# is one of them

now i can check what file i newer vith this:

$filename_hr = 'quickpolls/data/1227711666.vot';

$filename_it = 'quickpolls/data/1259074716.vot';

 

$hr_vrijeme = date (filemtime($filename_hr));

$it_vrijeme = date (filemtime($filename_it));

 

if ($hr_vrijeme > $it_vrijeme) {echo "hr is new";}

 

else {echo "it is new";}

 

How can i make now that content from newer file is copied to older file?
