shergold Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 hey guys, all help is very appriciated. im new to php and programming in general, i was wondering how you would get information that gets input in a mysql database without anyone being on the php pages for the scripts to run. i want to input information from a game called eve-online, here is a example: there is a website called eve-bank.net and every hour it checks if money has been sent to there ingame player account, it then updates information on the website. so basicly how do they get it to update the website with out anyone being on the pages to execute php scripts that would do that? sorry if my question sounds confusing. thanks, shergold.
