    Hiya,

    Is it possible to check and log website content changes, using PHP?
    If any changes are found, then an alert should be shown.

    Many Thanks,

    FishSword

    Possible but not to be made just for fun - you should be looking at Buy, Sell and Trade section.

    Yes it is. Decide on the area you need to monitor for changes, grab the page, extract the area, save, compare with the previously saved area, send email.

    Spot on..
    How to achieve?
    Easy way to do: Save the page areas, generate Hash based on page content, match it with previous Hash, if both hashes are same, page hasn't changed, if they are different page has changed..
