ok, but I don't know how to use flash to do this, and in this way I don't know how to create the graph. The connection is intranet (via LAN): this application will be used to monitor in real time the state of the sensors. somethig like an heart rate graph. At 10.13 03/05/2003 -0700, you wrote:
I think this could be done with a few tools. You could build a flash app that can tunnel to the server without refreshing the page. flash would get the new data then have draw a new graph using javascript to write/alter an SVG graph This might work for you The persons that will be viewing this page, how are they going to connect to the server, via a modem or highspeed connection? if it is a modem connection, you can forget REAL-TIME refreshing altogether. it would take longer then 1 sec to send the request / process the request / receive processed data and then change the graph. But what I described above will get you going down the right road IMHO.

Is there something like opening a connection with the server without closing it, and update the image continuously? but without flickering problems... At 12.50 03/05/2003 -0400, you wrote:
Why not have a php cron job that runs every x seconds and creates a new gif of the graph, then your page can use javascript to reload the image every x seconds

I'd like to generate a graph (I'm using the jpgraph) from that data
and
display it in real time. The question is: how can I show data while they're changing ? I've tried to reload the browser each seconds, but it's not so elegant (I don't want to reload the entire page) and I need to display data
more
frequently. Some ideas? Carlo -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
