Creating an Auto update solution for my php application

Hi Everyone!

We are working on an php based website and need to create an auto update script like word press or other php scripts out there. Script will reside on customer servers and want them to see some thing like (x) updates(s) available on there admin area, when ever we make changes on our source code here and make it available for update. How do we do that? Is there any open source scirpt that can help us to do this or if we have to write a custom script what are the things that we should focus on?

Thanks,
Atiq

You would probably have a web service on your website that checked against a provided version number and responded with update information. Then your application would access your site's web service and pass its version number. It could then display the update information it received.
