hard to explain

[nwoeddie]

I want to open a file, print the specified lines in another file and every 5 minutes, to repeat the process. Can it be done?

This is what I want open:
$path2title = ("http://www.mysite.com/whatever.html");
$file = file($path2title);

then I want it to print into another file on my server this:
<? echo $file[54]; ?>
<? echo $file[55]; ?>
<? echo $file[56]; ?>

Then have a delay of 5 minutes before it repeats the process, is it possible?

Thanks guys,
Eddie

sure.

look into fopen to open the file, fread to read the file and fwrite to write to the collecting file.

in order to do it every five minutes, use the crontab (which is part of linux/unix - don't know the windows equiv) to run the php script every five minutes.
