#260 Script to Return Number of Unaccepted Changes

[Gary Bartlett]

The attached PHP file simply reports how many
outstanding unaccepted changes there are in a PGV
database. It can be used from client-side script files
before FTP uploading a replacement GEDCOM with
something like (for Windows):

Echo Checking for online updates . . .
For /F %%C In ('Get
http://www.mywebsite.com/pgv/changes.php') Do (
If Not "%%C" == "0" (
Echo *** %%C ONLINE CHANGES DETECTED ***
Exit
) Else Echo [no changes detected]
)

This example uses a Perl-based command-line web page
retriever, GET, but other similar tools exist that work
just as well. Similar scripts can easily be created
for Linux, etc.

for a discussion of the problem this tries to help with.
