dropfaith Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 No idea how this would be done but its kinda worded wierd so i might be missing what you want. Im picturing a display that shows all new records that have been created in the last 20 mins and if the timestamp on the record is > then 20 mins it doesnt display?

trq Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Store a timestamp indicating when your users signed in, check this timestamp and if it was within the last 5 minutes display the data, else, don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 HTTP is static. Once you have requested a url the output is sent to the browser. The output can only change once the page is requested again (i.e user clicks refresh). An option is to poll the server via an AJAX request however I fail to see why a user would stay on the same web page for a period of 5 minutes.

kickstart Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi If you have a page that is being output then while building that page you just pick up the date / time of the latest topic and display your message if it is within the last 5 minutes. All the best Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 sorry dood im just really excited that i get to learn php Learning to program means learning to think logically. If you can't think a problem through yourself from point a - point b - point x, it doesn't matter how much syntax you know, you can't program. i guess your 18k posts just doesn't fit u all, why not post that 1more thing that will help me? Not really sure what your trying to get at there, but I didn't get 18,000+ posts asking questions. Ive helped quite a few people around here.

Agreed, But i think you need to re-define your definition of 'Suck Up' as that was not a suck up it was a complement and a way of telling you that you ask for help so appreciate what people give you that dont have to waste there time on you. No one can question your intelligence as no one here knows you but i highly doubt that you are. James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
