Auto Update PHP software feature?

[macagent]

Hello,

I am developing a php app (shopping cart) and I want to include an Update feature in the admin.

The user would click the button and the cart would look to my master server for the updated files, that would be transferred to the clients machine.

It would also need to grab any sql updates that need to be carried out.

Does anyone know of a good class or script that can get me started on this?

Thanks :-)

I'm thinking something like this would require custom code. Although I could be very wrong - I haven't checked google or hotscripts.com.

In terms of classes, check out [man]curl[/man]. It'll handle the communications between their server and your server. Although, if they don't have curl, then you may have to resort to sockets (fsocket).
