Mahngiel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This will become a large project for you. I suggest you read tutorials on how to assign variables and arrays, as well as how to insert/update data into a database. nobody here is going to write it for you, but we will give you guidance on how to get where you need to go. To start yourself off, learn about arrays and how to deal with the database.

ronnie3148 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Well I know all about arrays how to insert into a db... but I just don't get how I can tell php to get only certain areas and skipping some... like skipping the timestamp..

Mahngiel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 whatever your source is, just identify the values as a variable and insert into your table as such. you can skip any data you don't want as easily as you can input the data you DO want.
