Sup everyone, I have a quick question. I built myself a personal webpage to track all my clients that I am running. Most of my machines are not on my local lan so EMIII is no good to me. I like to keep track of every machine that folds for me, almost all of them are on high speed internet and always on, so I have the Folding folder shared as a webpage. I then have links with directory browsing for each system, so I can just click on the unitinfo.txt FAHlog.txt files to check the status. This works great but I want to go a step further. Since these are just text files, is there a way I can have the html code read the text files and just show me % complete or the date downloaded? Sorta like an auto parsing that reads the file then just shows me a % next to the computer name? Then I can just load my homepage and see all of my systems and where they are at.

Any ideas on how to do this?

HTML no.

PHP will do it. But you will need to install that somewhere.

you could just fopen() the text doc from each 'url' and process the results easy enough.

I am new to PHP, not even sure what I would need to do to run a site on PHP, or what I would need to install.
