Just did a cache with a cron job on a tide script puller. Had to do a rewrite with help from one of my members to add other tides for the pal.
I have the script pulling the data witha regex and saving it to a text file.... then I use a include on the text file. Set the cron up to run the script so it keeps the text file updated. Loads like a dream... Thanks for the inspiration to get me over the hump on this. Using this same style of a feature to fetch the latest news and regulations, river levels.... next is weather.
Very close to having this setup for a mysql database, with cron for river levels. It will also have user login cookie so users can save there tides/river levels of choice.
BTW I used Fastcron.com for remote pull on the scripts since it was cheaper and very easy to setup. Cron job is the way to go!!
Not sure whether to include this with language files or not.. but probably will once its done.
Any day one a couple minor bugs are worked out...
Now back to your regular scheduled fishing trip []
