It's alive!

OK, I received the last untested draw (EuroMillions) this evening after the 10pm update, and everything was as it should be. Instead of pasting the SQL into phpMyAdmin I've simply un-commented the relevent lines in the update files so that these results willbe saved at the 11pm update. In other words, the website should update itself in about 45 minutes.

I'm going to have a think about the time thing. If I record the days that the various draws should be on, I can have the script check for updates only if there should be one and isn't. I could run it every 15 minutes, but only have it check for updates that often from 8pm-midnight.

Roll on 11pm...

Edit: Yay! It works!
