Text file streaming

[deela]

Hi,

 

Just need pointing i the right direction here.

 

I need a script that can upload a selected file, then repeat the process automatically every X seconds until the user stops it. How would I go about this in PHP? Is it possible to open a stream from a local text file that php can read and respond to changes in it giving live results?

 

Thanks in advance.

Run from CLI:

<?php
$config = array(
	'file'		=> 'file.txt',
	'interval'	=> 30,
);

while(1)
{
$file_contents = file_get_contents($config['file']);

// upload code here

sleep($config['interval']);
}
?>

Thanks,

 

Is it possible to do this without involving the CLI?

 

I need it to be available on a webpage that the user can select the file, then the script does the rest.
