How To Autorefresh A Page Every Two Minutes?

I'm working on an OFFLINE SYSTEM that uses PHP and MySQL. Something that can be used by a small network of PC's to do transactions. These are problems I need to solve:

1] I need A CODE THAT REFRESHES THE PAGE EVERY TWO OR SO MINUTES. That way the new entries in the database gets seen on the page and I don't have to press F5 or click refresh everytime.

2] How do you set CHMOD PERMISSIONS WHILE USING APACHE AS MY SERVER (OFFLINE)?

Is the idea of an OFFLINE SYSTEM sounds garbage? Is it okay to use it for transactions within a small network? SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Thanks in advance smile.gif

you could just add a refresh meta in the page that would be refreshed. the idea of an offline system is just right for you because no one will be using your system outside of your personal network.

Sounds like someone's making things too difficult smile.gif

It's easier to just use meta refresh - but on the other hand php refresh would mean more people would have the page refreshed. Why? Because you can disable it in most browsers!

Anyway, here's the code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120;url=index.php">

120 represents 120s (2 minutes) and index.php represents the page you wish to refresh!

PHP also has no other way of refreshing a page other than a meta refresh. so just let it be. just blame them for disabling it.

Actually mobious, you are incorrect. PHP does have a way to refresh a page. Put this at the top of your page *BEFORE* the <head> tag.

CODE


header('Refresh: 120');



If you want it to refresh to a different link, put this:

CODE


header('Refresh: 120; url=PAGEYOUWANTTOREFRESHTO');

It's easy. I suggest you use JavaScript, because it's the modern way biggrin.gif

CODE
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">setTimeout("location.reload();",20000);</script>


The code above reloads/refreshes the current page every 2 minutes. Also this code (the old way):

CODE
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120">

It may be the modern way but people still have javascript disabled even if they don't want it to. An annoying virus may come along and disable it for them. There are a lot of idiots out there who don't know how to adjust security settings.

Also it's harder to remember. If I had to do it anyway out of those 3, I'd use php because it will refresh for everyone regardless

Yup, agree with electriic ink. And furthermore, the html one is easier and simpler. But there's 1 thing which I am concern about. Does all browsers support that...??

I'm going to close this thread before karlo comes and starts bickering, and everyone will start flaming each other. Besides, the problem seems to be solved anyway.

Thread closed.
