You will need to do a reload of the page so that you can get information from the server to the client via the web. Now you can also write a server-client application that allows the server and client to talk via connects (sockets) however, this is a very complex subject and might be a huge overkill for what u are trying to accomplish. Using javascript to reload the page every 10 minutes might be what you are looking for. -- BigDog -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
