But might be of use to someone who wants to know if PHP is available to
them, as it's been mentioned here by Rick as a potentially useful tool.
I don't think it's been adequately explained why SiteMatch won't do the job
for Roger, and why he thinks it's the size that matters.
He may be right in how he specifies what he wants, but I can't understand
why that might be so.

I agree - the approach of using the datestamp to see if a file is
up-to-date is much more sensible than the size. And updating only altered
files is the economy that Roger is after for the scale of site he mentions.
