[rammi07]

Hi all . I want to create a page that it pulls dynamic xml data from a remote server (in this case it is from radio station rss that inncludes artist name,song name and ...) and display it page. Here is example of remote rss xml:

- <playlist> 
- <song> 
  <artist>Artisname1</artist> 
  <name>SongName1</name> 
  <image>./song_images/artistpic1.jpg</image> 
  <rating>3</rating> 
  <songid>2624</songid> 
  <totalvotes>35</totalvotes> 
  </song> 
- <song> 
  <artist>Artistname2</artist> 
  <name>SongName2</name> 
  <image>./song_images/artistpic2.jpg</image> 
  <rating>3.5</rating> 
  <songid>4795</songid> 
  <totalvotes>14</totalvotes> 
  </song> 

</playlist>

I want the page that displays above information have the updated data at all time without refresh.I be happy if some one help me achive this goal using php .Thanks

You won't be able to do it using PHP, you'll have to use Javascript, or some other Client-Side language. PHP being server-side will have to have the page refreshed for it run.

I don't really know of any, the best I could do is point you to the JavaScript forum, see if you can get help there.
