simple script to grab todo items from a mytinytodo list database and spit them back out at you

Primary LanguagePHP

CB'S WHAT TO DO? SCRIPT

WHAT IT DOES
This simple little script connects to a MySQL database and grabs info
from your myTinyTodo database.

myTinyTodo is an awesome open-source web-based todo list, written in PHP by Max Pozdeev. You can get it here:
http://www.mytinytodo.net/

DEPENDENCIES
* A myTinyTodo installation
* PHP (tested on 5.3)
* MySQL php module (so php can talk to mysql)

INSTALLATION
Just grab the php file and change the configuration info to your own.

HOW TO USE IT
Simply run php todo.php and the script will spit out un-completed items
from your todo list, list id 1 by default. It spits the output to stdout,
but also writes the results to a file.

Now that I think about it, running php todo.php >> somefile.txt might
work just as well, but then you wouldn't see the results in stdout.

WHAT THE FILES DO
todo.php
	the php script that connects to the DB and grabs your todo items
	
config.dist.php
	the default configuration file- copy this to config.php and edit it according to your settings
	
README
	this file

WHY?
I wrote the script so I could get an up-to-date list of my todo items
in Conky. I run the script every minute via cron, and Conky reads the
file every minute.

NOTE
I'm a super newbie programmer, so there are probably a million things
I could have done more efficiently. Go easy!
