Need an update script




Posted by Danny159, 08-26-2007, 07:41 AM
Hey Does anyone know how to script a script that users will check and if there is an update it tells them that there is an update? (in PHP) Danny

Danny - This is something very trivial to accomplish in any language. First create a page that returns only the version number of the latest version released. Then another script that will call that remote page. If current version != latest version, obviously they are behind in their updates... Kevin

Can you provide more details? Are you trying to integrate this feature in your PHP application or are you trying to check for updates for some other application?
