    Can you a bit more specific? It's a bit difficult to understand your situation.

    I am making a system that will automatically fills up the bottle with pepsi or any fizzy drink and makes it sealed. Now I want to show updates on the web after one hour of operation that how many bottles have been bottled up in this time. If anything goes faulty it will show via web. I want this web updates automatic. Thanks for your response and looking forward for the solution.

    You normally wouldn't use a web technology to try and do the interface with your hardware. You'd normally write your application in C#, Java etc and store the data from your hardware into a db or XML or equiv. Your website then accesss that same db/ XML file etc and displays the data online (using ASP.Net or PHP or what ever)

    So I need to learn C#/Java, XML, php.
    Currently I know C, C++, basic php and some other hardware programming languages. I have a plan to learn Java and PHP. If I can do my system interfaced with internet by these programming language I will start learning those in coming semester break.
    Thanks a lot for your reply. I have added you as a friend.

    http://www.arduino.cc/ and then you program it with C and you can disconnect your computer and it can run the C code on its own and preform anything you have coded it to do. You can add webserver modules to it etc, and its all Open source with tons of examples and help on the ineternet. Enjoy
