Such details. Now that those who have read that post understands what you're trying to do, please explain what you need help on.

Well, you're definetly going to be using PHP and AJAX...

 

If you have no code written yet I'd recommend hitting some tutorials,

• PHP
  
• MySQL
  
• jQuery
  

Then get specific with login scripts, basic cms (a form to update a database). Then attempt this project and come back when you get stuck

 

Oh, and by the way, you'll need a javascript timer to execture a call every x seconds to keep checking if the database has changed! (just remember)

execture ...

 

It sounds like a timer is hard to write,  but it's really just a call to a JavaScript function.

yup, just one simple line;

 

timer = setTimeout('aFunction();',2000);

Wrong! Well I guess it depends on aFunction(), but care to try again?

Care to explain to me why that's wrong?

 

That little bit of javascript will call a function called aFunction() every 2 seconds.....

 

I wonder how that's wrong??

[Ken2k7]

setTimeout() only delays execution. So unless aFunction() calls setTimeout again, it'll only work once. I think you meant setInterval().

[gevans]

Next time I'll write out a function as well, that should sort it!!
