Hi, I want to make a web page that can retrive data from my tables automatically, periodically. Does PHP have some timer control ? I know we can do with JavaScript (setInterval() or setTimeOut()) but I cann't join java script with PHP. I've tried make simple script with JavaScript to open new window that contain PHP script for show current time every 5 seconds. function showData() { newWindow = Window.open('data.php','screen'); } function loadData() { setInterval('showData()','5000') } data.php : <? echo date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A"); ?> in result, data.php will reload every 5 seconds, but it doesn't change. Can someone help me and give me suggestion ? TIA regards, Budi Kelana
