Script(Urgent)

Post by ishan28mkip »

Its a little :offtopic: because I didn't know where to post.

I know that All the data of a website is stored on a server. The server is a computer itself. So I wanted to ask if a php script can be made which can perform a function on another website.

For e.g. A useful use of this kind of script will be,
First I will make a Website, then through php coding I will instruct the code to check Facebook source code every 10 minutes, if someone logs in his account his name will come in the source code. We can before hand specify which names to search for in the source code, once a name is found it can be recorded with its time and hence you can find out which of your friends came at what time.

That was just an example, other useful tasks can also be done, can someone tell me if its possible?

Thanks

As far as I know there's no way of directly talking to another website like you describe without using some sort of API. Facebook provides an API for doing exactly what you describe (google "facebook connect API").
