Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you use grab and parse the rss feeds you want, store the titles in a database, with a column for identifying if the e-mail has been sent? So every hour it checks your feeds, grabs the new ones, checks to see if emailSent="1" if not pass it to send_notification($email, $feedname, $feedtitle).
Of course, (if ever I've had a "doh" moment I think now would be it). Though I'll probably use a tmp file.
I've been working almost exclusively with databases lately so all my solutions are including databases :) -- Jason Pruim Raoset Inc. Technology Manager MQC Specialist 11287 James St Holland, MI 49424 www.raoset.com japruim@raoset.com
