[Tutor] need help planning website updates

[Jay Loden]

Adding it into the PHP that creates the html would create too much overhead 
since it loads each page individually upon request, and that would mean 
running the modified time check on every page load.  

But I was thinking about this after I sent the mail, and I think you have a 
point with just outputting the five last modified out of all files.  This was 
one of those times when your brain fails you and you think up an overly 
complicated solution to a simple problem. This way the script just has to run 
every 15 minutes or so and give me the five most recent files for use in the 
PHP. 

Thanks!
