Not quite sure what you want to do... but why don't you just
enclose your JavaScript in a PHP Script...
echo "<language = javascript>"
echo 'function Afunc(){
....
....
}';
Or alternatively, this is the way I would approach it (and forgive
me if I'm getting a head of myself and misunderstood the question):
- if you are on a Linux/UNIX type machine you could use
Unix tools to achieve the desired effect by time intervals...
One way of doing this is to implement code that utilizes
the cron utility. Use cron to execute a script at the desired time
intervals, the output of what ever script is executed can hence
be written to a file and read using php and finally spatt out onto your
page...
Hope this helps...
