lemmin Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yep. the page the user looks at is one complete thing. If you need to refresh code, it can't be in the same location. You can use an iframe or you could probably run it in the background with a COM object (or I think there is a special character to runa process in the background, but I'm not sure that would work for what you are trying to do).

lemmin Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Do you mean that you want to refresh the code until something changes and if it changes, refresh the content on the page that is being viewed? If so, you can put the php code in an iframe and check some conditions and when you know that page needs to be refreshed, just echo javascript like this: <script language="Javascript"> top.location="something.php"; </script> If that isn't what you are talking about, uhm, what are you talking about?
