Thanks, I had seen that and unfortuantely the sites are not 
necessarily stored in a directory that matches the domain name. The 
sites are created dynamically therefore they're stored in directories 
that have an integer that increases in value for each new site. This 
makes it far easier for programmatic reasons. 

e.g. www.example.com
points to /data/www/html/sites/site345/

www.tester.com 
points to /data/www/html/sites/site462/

Cheers for the help though. I must admit the php -> mysql -> perl -> 
cronjob idea is sounding the most applicable at the moment...

Thanks
Toby
