Hi again,

I need to be able update my web site with info from a remote web site. At
this other web site, the info I require is updated every 30 minutes, 24
hours per day. Life would be cool if a way existed by which I could
"schedule" my code to run periodically so that my info could remain
[reasonably] synchronized with the info on this other site.

In the PHP docs / books I have I've been unable to find functions / services
/ examples that might permit me to implement this functionality. Do [php]
services/classes exist that would meet this need? Do I need to invoke the
services of my WEB server (apache on both ends)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Michael
