yes.. the project i m doing is to stimulate a virtual cricket environment.(here nearly 5 T20 matches will take place with nearly half an hour gap between the successive matches) where the php script i m referring to gives the output of every ball. and the schedule cant be constant because the time varies at the end of over, end of match... and the time depends upon the output of the previous instance of the script And for the solution u mentioned.. IMO AJAX solution is better than having a scheduled task for refreshing the PHP script. (i have a dedicated computer for this purpose and the browser will always remain on. this may seem a bit weird to u but i do hav 1). Kranthi.
