I posted this awhile back, but haven't been able to revisit the issue until now and figured I would try again. Does anyone know if it is either practical or possible to use PHP sockets to connect to a mySQL database? Basically, I have realtime data that needs to pulled from a database and updated on a page. Currently I'm using the somewhat crude method of meta refresh tags. If anyone knows if this is possible with sockets or any other method, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
