There is actually no PHP involved beyond your AJAX response page, and that is basic at most. What you will need to do if you want to *continually* update your status is to use the javascript "setInterval()" or "setTimeout()" method(s). I recommend setInterval(), as it repeats itself at the specified time interval. The function passed to setTimeout() would need to set a new timeout every time it was executed. Hope this helps.
