dynamicgfx Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 What i want too do is make the page refresh every time there's a new entry, at the moment its using a meta refresh which isn't really quit reliable since it refreshes after a certain time. Could anyone tell me who this can be done.

xyph Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Running an AJAX call in a tight loop, when it finds a change, update or refresh the page. Either that, or use a technique similar to Comet - https://sites.google.com/site/kyayagroup/comet Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/266238-shoutbox-autorefresh-everytime-a-new-entry-is-added/#findComment-1364318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
