Refresh script.

[spasm37]

I'm trying to script an internal auto refresh. I have information on my site that is gathered from another server, but will only update if I go to the "update.php" file directly. And if I keep the window open, I can just click refresh and then it'll update again. Is there a way for me to not have to keep clicking refresh so it'll automatically do it every 10 min or something. This is a 24/7 statistics script, and I don't want to have to go back and forth multiple times a day so people are getting the latest factual information.

You might want to setup a cron job which calls update.php every 10minutes automatically in the background.

Why don't you include that update.php file in the header of your site?
So, everytime a visitor visits your site, he will automatically have the latest updates.
