wooo go halls.

will watch it when teeth has downloaded. a film about a woman with teeth in her snatch... what more could a man ask for

finially watched it :p

tis pretty fooking simple to do lol. now i just need a host which allows cron scripts XD

and out of interest. how often does godaddy allow crons to be ran?

every 15 minutes

I take it godaddy is a Linux based server then :s is there a way to use these or something similar on a windows based server? Ive seen something to do with CGI scripts when I googled it but nothing usefull there as usual.

godaddy has both windows and linux servers. I recommend linux unless you plan on having asp.net applications running. You will never see the difference just making a standard php game otehr than the linux seems to run better in my opinion.

Cros will work for windows servers as far as i know.

Halls will we need crons for the tut you are showing (teaching)us?

Kay, could you explain how to do crons without the interface too? my provider has the ability to use a linux server and crons so im switchin it to that just now, but it doesnt have tech support for it nor does it have any interface for it.

i wouldnt imagine you would NEED it... but the automation of such things shown in the video makes life ALOT easier.

who is your host that doesnt have a cron interface? Let me look into them.
