I'm trying to setup an external XML feed for my site and I've received a script to make it all possible. This script places the feed in the MySQL datbasa and can remove the previous feed. Because I am new to this I would like to ask a simple question. Could somebody tell me where do I have to put the shell script? In the public html or in the root of the site or do I need to make a link public_html/scripts? I've got not a clue to make it eassier I've included my files also.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Chris
