    need help

    Does anyone know of a way to automatically update for example, a table on a website and that data is linked to another site that i don't control?

    You could use fopen()/fread() to open the site, and "read" through the data on that site. Things like that are a pain though, if you don't know php well. The best way I would think would be to use an xml feed, and get the data that way.

    php.net/xml

    What exactly do you want to do? I could try to help you more in-depth if I knew.
