cron like function

This is to update the ip-to-country database and I often find that many people do not check for this.

Another reason is that many hosting places only allow php-curl and not direct socket/http calls for security reasons.

added the API call fs_api_ensure_ip2c_db_updated in 1.6.
Example usage:

require_once('/firestats/path/php/api.php');
$res = fs_api_ensure_ip2c_db_updated();
if ($res['status'] == 'error') echo "error : " . $res['message'];

to use it, create a small PHP file that contains the lines above, and call it using

php -f update-firestats-ip2c.php

from your cron job.
