Script to retrieve football results and write to a file +
$30-100 USD
Paid on delivery
Nice little job here that I hope you'll be interested in...
Perl script (or PHP) needed to get football results from a site and add results to an existing text file
The script will be able to run as a unix command line (to enable
scheduling as a cron job).
The script should also be able to be called as a web page.
The script will look at each line in the file specified and lookup the the
result from a website
{[url removed, login to view]}
Each line specifies the teams and date of the match, using the date and
home team the result can be found from this website. If no result is
found, just continue onto the next one as the result may not yet be known.
If the input file already has the results columns then skip onto the next
record.
If a result is found add the result to the file (same file as the input
file) as two new columns, "Home", "Away" as comma seperated columns.
I suggest the script should output to a temporary file
({input_file}[url removed, login to view]) whilst working and then copy
({input_file}[url removed, login to view] over the {input_file} and delete the temporary
file.
If the script is called from a web page then the script should show a
formatted table of the resulting input file.
The input file is shown below.
An Example output file is shown below.
Parameters:
Test Flag [If specified then report, do not update file]
File Name [Fixtures and Results File]
We have Perl or PHP running on FreeBSD.
