[Anthony]

Hey does someone know how to have a php script be able to tell if a
rss feed has been updated since the last time it had been ran ?

Track update times in a file or db.

Using magpie RSS:

require('rss_fetch.inc');
$rss = fetch_rss($url);

if (md5($rss)!=md5($stored_rss)) {
// its changed...
}
