Hi,

take a look at fopen() at php.net - you will find info there on how to read a file..

you could also take a look at glob() which provides os level info on files ie size, change date etc..

If you have started this project and are having problems with an area of coding, post the code and ask the forum questions relating to the problem. There are many members willing to help...

If you are asking if PHP is the way to do this, personally I would say no, given the limitations imposed running under a webserver environment and your requirement to monitor other machines, I would suggest looking elsewhere.
