How to refresh a php-script?

[TFE-Wow]

hi all,

iam looking for a refresh script for our server status.

ive tryed the
*meta-code(html)*= (<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="240;url=blabla">)
*function refreshme (java)

ive also found some php-script, but the problem is with these scrips is that the reload/refresh the howl page.

This is a example of the script i currently using:

<?php

$ip = "#myip";
$port = "#serverport";

if (! $sock = @fsockopen($ip, $port, $num, $error, 5))
echo "<img src='../images/image_offline.jpg' />";
else{
echo "<img src='../images/image_online.jpg' />";
fclose($sock);
}
?>

What i need is a script that only reload/refesh this part

javascript:window.location.reload()

↑ Tried that?

Its not exactly what i am looking for.
these scripts when the reload leave a fraction of a sec a ugly white background



there is a fixed background image, but that one gets reloaded aswell

Use jQuery!

$(document).ready(function () {    
            var refreshId = setInterval(function()
            {            
                 $('#updateDiv').load('updatePhp.php');
            }, 500);            
        });

Then just make a div like this

<div id="updateDiv"></div>

and you're done!

If you do: header(Location: pagename.php);
It should work as well, or else you might wanna look up the header() php function.

[Berusadeankan]

Well, the header(Location: ...) function only redirects the user to another page. It has no repeating redirect so to say ;>

jQuery is indeed your best bet. Whereas other methods reload the entire page, the jQ method only reloads the text within the updateDiv.

Can be done using only javascript, don't need jQuery though it simplifies it, so maybe it's the smarter choice!
