making a update checker with sockets or some other method...

hello,

 

I am planning on improving the update checker i use for a program of mine.

 

and i am stuck on which way to go with this.

 

the current method im thinking of is using the file_get_contents function to check for md5 hash matching.

 

the other method which i see phpbb does is with sockets.

 

now I am curious on which way would be best?

 

im also looking at this with security in mind so im hoping someone can shed some light on this as well.

 

thanks :)
