Re: FTP Chron Mysql and PHP

Do you have telnet/SSH access? You can simple fopen() the FTP file and read it, or use PHP's FTP functions (not sure which will be easier to provide username/password) and then use http://php.net/explode to extract the fields. You'll also want to read: man 5 crontab which is the one that gives the details of how to make cron work. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
