automatic content update of a page without reload with php: possible at all?

[marcnyc]

Hello I am looking into cross-platform and cross-browser solutions to update the content of a page without actually re-loading that page. I know it is possible with javascript but I was wondering if PHP can do such a thing. Thanks

without reloading page. No.

PHP is server side and processes the script at the server end before sending the HTML output to the client. So for inorder for PHP to alter anything on the page it would have to reload.
