Looking for a programmer to do this:

[Kitty]

This is how I was attempting it. (say it would lower the level by one after a certain amount of time)

I inserted a time into the db, then included a file where it would compare the current time with the time stored. If the difference was greater than a certain amount of time, it would take 1 from the hunger level (starts at twenty)

the problems I'm having is that it only decreased it if the page was refreshed on the exact second.
I tried with a range, but it would decrease everytime it was refreshed as long as it was still within that timeframe.

now I also get an email every (how often I set it) saying permission denied

how much would you charge to rewrite this, plus tell me how to insert cron jobs?

You are using standard cron or the database to call it?
You should look at the method used in mg or kitto as that is ghetto cron which I assume your using.

Basically you just want to update the pets hunger level on a certain time and not affect it until the next 15 minutes or so. Maybe by inserting a flag?

Thank you, I think I've got it now. ^_^ I don't need this thread anymore...
