codingmasterRS Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Hi guys, I am after some code like Twitter (and FB) that updates page content from a PHP function. I believe in need AJAX or jQuery/AJAX, so if anyone cna point me in the right direction in terms of code that would be great. Cheers PS. It needs to be done at a set interval Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239119-twitter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 if you are not familiar with either, you can visit http://jquery.com/ and https://developer.mozilla.org/en/AJAX Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239119-twitter/#findComment-1228590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
codingmasterRS Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 thanks for the links, but they are not all together that helpful, someone must have done this and have the code or know how to do it.

fugix Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Its fairly simple to do. However you must first know the language that it uses. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/239119-twitter/#findComment-1228599 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you read into it before you attempt to use it. The mozilla link fugix posted is a good place to start.

codingmasterRS Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 The Mozilla link is not relevant to my code.

Alex Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 You're planning on using AJAX, and that link explains AJAX. How could it not be relevant? You're after a quick solution, and specifically one that doesn't even make sense given the nature of AJAX. There is no simple "copy & paste this magical code and everything will work". It depends on your situation. If you want to get the data from a PHP function, then have the PHP page call the function.
