Hey, What I am trying to do is get user status to update say if I updated my status I want it to be live meaning to make it show without ever loading the page much like facebook and myspace I dont understand how to do this.

I know I need to call the js file. but I dont understand how to make it live feed

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

This is my showUpdates.js file

var xmlhttp;

function showUpdates(str)
{
if (str.length==0)
  {
  document.getElementById("livesearch").innerHTML="";
  document.getElementById("livesearch").style.border="0px";
  return;
  }
xmlhttp=GetXmlHttpObject()
if (xmlhttp==null)
  {
  alert ("Your browser does not support XML HTTP Request");
  return;
  }
var url="showUpdates.php";
url=url+"?q="+str;
url=url+"&sid="+Math.random();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged ;
xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
xmlhttp.send(null);
}

function stateChanged()
{
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4)
  {
  document.getElementById("showupdate").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
  document.getElementById("showupdate").style.border="1px solid #A5ACB2";
  }
}

function GetXmlHttpObject()
{
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {
  // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  return new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
if (window.ActiveXObject)
  {
  // code for IE6, IE5
  return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
return null;
}

 

 

showUpdates.php

<?php
session_start();
include("data/connect.php");

$Psql="SELECT F.`follower_id`, FU.username AS Name, U.`username` AS followerName
FROM `following` F
JOIN users U ON U.`id` = F.`user_id`
JOIN users FU ON FU.`id` = F.`follower_id`
WHERE F.`user_id` =". $_SESSION['userid'] ."
LIMIT 0 , 3";

$Presult = mysql_query($Psql);
while($Prows = mysql_fetch_array($Presult)){
  $Ppsql="SELECT `body`,`stamp` FROM `posts` WHERE `user_id` = '". $Prows['follower_id'] ."' ORDER BY `stamp` DESC LIMIT 0,3";
  $Ppresult=mysql_query($Ppsql);
  while($Pprows = mysql_fetch_array($Ppresult)){
    echo "<strong><a href=\"/". $Prows['Name'] ."\"><font color=black>".$Prows['Name'] ."</font></a></strong> | ". $Pprows['body'] ."<br>". $Prows['stamp'] ."<hr><br>";
  } 
}
?>

 

 

how do I get the js file to work in profile.php?

 

profile.php

<?php
session_start();
include("data/connect.php");
?>
