Okay, then get_file_contents(), parse between the tags that would contain
the stuff you want to monitor, hash, store that, and do what I said.
Even if you did use the *file_get_contents()* method you mentioned
(;-P), how would you know between which tags you should parse? Each
installation of Wordpress will likely be different, so the HTML source
will differ vastly.
I'm not shooting holes in your logic. I'm prodding you to get
that big brain of yours working to churn out an answer that I'm sure
is in there.
If I was actually confronted with the specifics of the problem, then
I could figure it out.
If it were me, I would look at the site I was trying to scrub and
figure out where the comments I'm interested in keeping tabs on are
being kept -- like in between the <div id="comments"> tag and then
parse on that.
Considering that every site is different, I would also record the
"tab of interest", as well as the url and hash for scrubbing in the
dB.
Of course, any of those data could change -- BUT -- the method would
still send out an email in that event and from there you would have
to re-consider what you want to do.
It's not rocket science -- but occasionally my solutions leave craters.
Cheers,
tedd
