Hi
I would like to know how can I do to an automatic request (every minutes, for instance) with php to a mysql database ?
So, in a second time, is it possible to open a window of information to the user over is opened window or other application (on Windows), like the tek-tips when the "Join us 's window" appear over all !!!
Maybe I must use javascript or VB !?
Thanks a lot
 
I'm not sure what you mean.

You can schedule a php cron job to run a php file at a scheduled time.

You can "refresh" a php file (in a popup window?) with a meta/refresh tag outputted into the HTML. Refreshing this file (presuming you sent headers to prevent page-caching) will run your script on the server and give you the new output.

Maybe if you can give me some more information I can help more. -gerrygerry
