Can I so this?

[ferret147]

I have some php in a page which I would like to re-load every 30 seconds, but I don't want to re-load the actual page.

 

Here is the code I wish to re-load

<?php $scores = file_get_contents("http://www.domain.com/text.txt"); 
$p1score = substr("$scores", -33, -30);
$p2score = substr("$scores", -30, -27);
$break = substr("$scores", -27, -24);
$current = substr("$scores", -24, -23);
$p1frames = substr("$scores", -23, -20);
$p2frames = substr("$scores", -20, -17);
$frameNO = substr("$scores", -17, -15);

echo $p1score;
echo $p2score;
echo $break;
echo $current;
echo $p1frames;
echo $p2frames;
echo $frameNO;
?>

 

Is this possible at all? or am I barking up the wrong tree

Yes, it is possible. Don't ask me for details though My JavaScript skills are lacking.

put this php code into it's own file, let's call it subpage.php. then, in your page, put an iframe:

 

<ifram id="subpage" src="subpage.php"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var subpage;
  window.onload = function(){
    subpage = document.getElementById('subpage');
    setInterval('subpage.contentWindow.location.reload()',30000); //Refresh every 30 seconds
  }
</script>

Yeah I didn't want to go down the iFrame rout for loads of reasons!

 

I can do it with a iFrame and a simple HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="30; no need for any javascript.

 

Oh well, thanks for looking anyway

personally, i would use AJAX, but i thought i would keep it simple with the IFRAME
