Subreddit tracker

Tracks information and details for posts submitted to a user defined Reddit subreddit.

The below example will fetch data for the NBA subreddit. Simply point a cron job for every minute to fetch the latest posts.

require_once('rdt-track.php');//Class and functions

$call = new tracker();//New instance
$call->track('nba', 25);//NBA sub, latest 25 posts
$call->insertData(1);//Insert new data and if post already exists do an update of upvotes/comments

Note

Ensure you run database.sql into your database and you configure db_connect() at line 2 of rdt-track.php to have your MySQL connection details.
