You will need to use Ajax to update the score without reloading the entire page.

Ahh from another site, Alright So it sounds like you would need to use cURL http://au.php.net/curl to retrieve the information. However i haven't got any experience with it so i cannot point you any further sorry :| But i would suggest reading up on how to use cURL, from what i understand you would use this to get the information you wanted and then use a mysql command to store it in your database, that would be the hardest part to figure out, after that you would just use some ajax to automatically update the score.
