poofy Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 How can I take information and have it displayed on another page even when my computer is turned off? It would need to update every 5-10 minutes or so and display on MY page.

.josh Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 are you hosting your webpage on your own computer or some other server? if it is some other server, then just setup a cron job. if it's you're own computer.. well if you turn it off, then it's off.
