RE: [PHP] need an idea, please help

I think you are on the right way: many web-applications are involving JavaScript in one way or another . Think about it bigger: PHP is a server-side: while JS is a client-side.. now, if you mix these two you can make some real cool staff. in your case I would have PHP to play with chess, and JS to play with your browser. JS can refresh your page every x (say 200) milliseconds. Use that in order to get it refreshed when a signal arrives.

Does anyone know how to get the server to send a refresh command to 1 client after the other has made a move. my only other option that I can see really is to have a java chat-type applet that when 1 player moves, sends a message to the other client to hit the refresh button. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---Matt PS. Sorry if this rather an obvious thing to ask.
