Question by Goodwine: How can I check regularly another website within my PHP scripts?
Well I’m making a “tool” to check another website and make statistics about it, I need it to be checked every 5 minutes, I can make it possible with my browser but I must have my computer ON 24/7, and thats not good for my bill xD
So how can I make it happen on the server-side?
@first answer:
so what should I do D:

Since the script stops running when you log out (or when the session times out), you can’t. PHP isn’t designed for that sort of thing.
