I have created a php page where I can browse for and upload mp3 (sermons) to our website (lets call this page A). I have also put together a page (page 😎 where it loops through the database and displays the mp3 files in xml format with an .htaccess file to make the php page show up as an rss feed.
I have registered with iTunes and they have accepted my submission for my podcast but have said that if my files do not show up immediately I can click on a link and 'ping' the iTunes server to refresh the feed. This link opens a new window communicating that the pinging process is taking place or something.
My question is, does anyone know of a way that I can have my page A php file go to that pinging url in the background without the user knowing about it or seeing a new window open because they're not going to know what they're looking at and then they would have to close an extra window. Let me know your thoughts.
