| do you have any experience with php ? i could help you out with the logic on how to do this, but would you be able to code it?
you could accomplish this with a mix of php and running the script at a set interval with your operating system. ( linux cron job, windows scheduled task )
forgive me if i'm wrong, but i'm assuming you haven't used php before. this is a great place to get help if you are devoted to learning, but any programming language is going to take the desire to learn in which the effort will definately not be worth learning for 1 script that simulates you checking a web page while you are not there.
the logic would be something like this.
- read the page into a variable.
- locate the number by finding a common string to the left and right of it
- check for the number
- if the number matches, then use php's curl library to submit the data back to the site
