I'm not sure if many of you have heard of UER.ca. It is a very popular website across the world made by a friend of mine. On his site he has this asp script on the lower left of the screen that show the monthly donation target, the amount collected so far, and the amount remaining to be collected.

The script if hooked up with his paypal account and displays the donations in real time aswell as who donated what.

Does anyone know how to create something like this with PHP? I haven't been able to get a hold of him lately.
