On the fly echo....

[cookra]

I'm having a problem with a project i've been working on for far to long....

I have a php script that connects to a time server a places the time stamp into a variable called $time.

The variable is then used in the body of a HTML page, This all works fine. The problem i'm having is that I need the <?echo$time?> to update every ten seconds, without refreshing the page.

At present the script is part of the HTML page itself, so I would imagine it needs to be seperate as php is server side.

Any ideas on this would be great...

One quick and dirty solution. Create a small frame in the window with a simple page with the echo statment. Then if you use <meta refresh >on that page, it shouldn't affect the rest of your stuff.

Or: javascript and the timer event.
