Thanks D-O, Ur a star !!!
Only problem, my cronjob won't run, don't know if its because its in the public_html folder?, all permissions are correct. May try putting the motd_query.php next to the stats.pl, i know that runs and updates the stats.
I ran the motd_query.php just by navigating to the page --> MOTD Top Ten Updated Successfully. At least top10 are showing now
.
Thanks again.
