[snip] Yes, but then the user would always have to reload the imbedded frame. [/snip] Actually you could use meta-refresh for the imbedded frame. I have done something similar for a notes update in a ticketing system. Also, you could start an endless loop in the imbedded frame. Here is an example (also uses JavaScript for the form submission) which came from a test that I conducted. <?php /* * a20050216jb */ $dbc = mysql_connect('server', 'user', 'password'); for($i = 0; $i < 256; $i++){ $spaces .= " "; } while(TRUE){ $getNotesCount = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS entries FROM test.tblTNotes "; if(!($dbNotesCount = mysql_query($getNotesCount, $dbc))){ echo mysql_error() . "\n"; exit(); } $value = mysql_fetch_array($dbNotesCount); $newValue = $value['entries']; if(!(isset($currentValue)) || ($currentValue != $newValue)){ $currentValue = $newValue; ?> <form name="foo" action="stateTestData.php" method="POST" target="bottomFrame"> </form> <script language="javascript"> foo.submit(); </script> <?php flush(); ob_end_flush(); } sleep(10); } ?> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
