Hello everyone. I was wondering if you could help me out. I've setup a bridge between my gaming ladders script and my vbulletin. Basically so the people registered on my forums do not have to sign up twice to use my websites features. I can manually update the database by running the file. But i was wondering if maybe there was a way in which i could make the database retrieve the info from my vbulletin database. Every "whatever" time.

Please reply even if its not possible, just saying that. I would rather know than just to be waiting on a lost cause. Thanks.

Mysql can't do an action on itself. It needs an instruction.
You can though, solve this by using a php cron script.
a cron script is a script that auto loads each x minutes/hours/days/months ...
You can choose when.
