Howdy Folks,

My question is:
I am writing my website in PHP, and I am getting some data from an XML sheet from another site. How can I get the site to automatically update the data from the XML sheet every minute or whatsoever???
(by an interval that i declare)
(if u don't know a thing in XML thn Ignore the XML part... just How can i get the site to update every minute?)

Thanks alot in advance,
Gilly B.

Will refresh or redirect to a page. The "10" in contend is the intervall in seconds.

Code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10;URL=file://c:/test/test.htm/">

But in some cases a cron/cronjob can be more usefull.
