I have a quick question about PHP and HTML. I have a page that is
supposed to update the status of hosts by pinging each host and
displaying the result. I would like to get the page to the point that I
can have something (either PHP or JavaScript or the like) ping every 10
seconds or so and update the page (I have text boxes for the status)
WITHOUT reloading it. Does anyone know if this is possible with PHP?
Or does anyone know of another way I could do it? JavaScript (at least
any of it that I've seen) doesn't have a function to run a command on
the server (which makes sense, since it is mainly client-side), and I
don't know about CGI.
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.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know. It sounds like from what Jay
Blanchard said you need a reload with sockets, anyway, and yes, that
would probably be overkill.
Thanks,
Nick
