Dynamic updates of a webpage?

[sender]

I was wondering if PHP has any capability for dynamic content? I want to create a 'ready room' similar to what you'd find in Warcraft 3 or C&C. Users push a 'ready' button and when everyone if ready the host can then start the game.

Currently I'm doing it by making the users refresh the screen. Is there an easier way of doing this? Can I only refresh a small section of code (for example the part which displays who is and isn't 'ready'). Basically, can I do this without asking for a page refresh?

Thank ya thank ya!

well let's see php can read files and has native access for at least 4 different databases.

nope, can't do anything dynamic with it.

No I mean dynamic WITHOUT a page refresh.

For example have one client update his information and have that info propogate across to other people without them needing o refresh their screen.

If you can't this is the one feature that would make php a KILLER language to program in...it would open up so much in terms of web applications

Anyhow...

no...php is already pretty killer...

what you are talking about CAN be done with javascript...i even posted a piece of code about it a few days ago (search for php javascript frame)...

expecting one language to do everything...it just alot of expecting...

good luck!...v
