GB_001 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I made a script in AJAX that echos out what the user puts in a form, but if someone was viewing the page they would not see what was echoed how would I be able to do that and specify who will see it? For example: A chat system. <html> <body> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- //Browser Support Code function ajaxFunction(){ var ajaxRequest; // The variable that makes Ajax possible! try{ // Opera 8.0+, Firefox, Safari ajaxRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e){ // Internet Explorer Browsers try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try{ ajaxRequest = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e){ // Something went wrong alert("Your browser broke!"); return false; } } } // Create a function that will receive data sent from the server ajaxRequest.onreadystatechange = function(){ if(ajaxRequest.readyState == 4){ var ajaxDisplay = document.getElementById('meh'); ajaxDisplay.innerHTML = ajaxRequest.responseText; } } var url = "serverTime.php"; var pum = document.myForm.username.value; ajaxRequest.open("GET", url+"?haha="+pum, true); ajaxRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'); ajaxRequest.send(null); } //--> </script> <div id='meh'> BOOM </div> <form name='myForm' action='serverTime.php' method='get'> Name: <input type='text' name='username' id='pum'/> <br /> <input type='button' name='submit' onClick="ajaxFunction();"/> </form> </body> </html> serverTime.php <?php $OHMYWORD=$_GET['haha']; echo "$OHMYWORD"; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/84067-updating-information-to-other-viewers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpQuestioner Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 update the "meh" div with AJAX - you will need create a timing event to update the "meh" responseText each time your data table has a new entry added to it. beyond that - you will have to post this thread in the AJAX or PHP forum for specific assistance with the coding details.
