Not PHP exactly, but javascript can talk to the server and update the
page without refreshing the page. What you are looking for is called
AJAX, or as it is know technically XMLHttpRequest. The technology has
been around for a while, but it has only recently taken off when Google
used it in gmail. I recently started using it and it is actually fairly
easy and very powerful. You do have to know javascript, but PHP just
sees it as another page request, so you don't need to do anything
special on the server.

Dear list,
Is there a way in PHP to update information on an open web page (e.g.
to say
"Hello, user, I have just logged in"), without the user having to
refresh
the page himself each time?
Thank you
Alberto Brea
