    I currently have a script that checks a website every X period. This is done by typing the url of the script and it works in the browsers. It is like

    http://www.domain.com/script.php?check=URL

    I does not work from the serverside and I if I want to check 10 URLs I have to run 10 sites in a browser and then the next day manually change ?check=oldurl to ?check=newurl.

    It would be great if the script could be changed, where it would take a .txt or .php file and check all the URL within that files based on date. This way 10 scripts can be running from a server and I don't have to do anything manually. For example it would take:


    
$check = array(
"url1" => "2012-05-05",
"url2" => "2012-05-05",
"url3" => "2012-05-06",
"url4" => "2012-05-06",
"url5" => "2012-05-07");
    PHP:
    So on 2012-05-05 it would continualy check URL1 and on 2012-05-06 it would check URL2. And so on.

    Looking for a coder who can do this for me.

    I have had over 20 PM's! Please stop sending a PM and please post your questions here.

    A few things.

    It is just a simple script. Not the new Google or Facebook.

    There no need for a database, CSS, JS, Ruby or Rails or any other additional feature. Just a list of URLs that need to be visited. This can be within the PHP or as an external .txt file.

    I am not looking for hosting, a server or any other service.

    Thank you.

    Hey there,

    if you can clarify for me what you mean by "check" I can do this Job for you with a extremely short turn around time. Once you have let me know what you mean by check ill be able to give you a quote and a better estimation of how long it will take.

    Thanks,

    Hi John,

    If I understand correctly, you're looking for something like this:

    This would be the url_array.php file and will contain a multi-dimensional array with each date key containing the urls to be run on that date. So basically, each $url_dates_array["datehere"][] can contain multiple urls.

    
// This would be the file url_array.php
$url_dates_array["2012-05-05"][] = "url1";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-05"][] = "url2";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-06"][] = "url1";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-06"][] = "url2";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-06"][] = "url3";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-07"][] = "url1";
$url_dates_array["2012-05-07"][] = "url2";
    PHP:
    Then, on whatever page you need to run the script:

    
require_once("url_array.php");
$current_date = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("now"));
foreach($url_dates_array[$current_date] as $date_key => $date_url)
{
// do your processing here
echo $date_url . "<br />"; // echo or process each url for today's date
}
    PHP:
    Please let me know if I'm on base and if you'd like to discuss it further.
