i want a script to run on a cron job every hour which takes the data from these 4 web files and put all of the data into separate tables in a mysql database:
http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/planet_listing.txt
http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/galaxy_listing.txt
http://game.planetarion.com/botfiles/alliance_listing.txt
http://game.planetarion.com/manual.pl?page=stats&rn=146054506142
the data in the 1st 3 pages will change every hour.
The script will also put into another table the value that appears after ‘Tick:’
there will also be a few calculations that will need to be made on some of the data (i.e the change in the figure from the previous hour)
