As I don't believe in copy-pasting when learning I wont make the script for you, but show you how and where you can learn to make on

Start by learning timers in javascript:
http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_timing.asp

then learn XMLHttpRequests in javascript
http://www.w3schools.com/Ajax/ajax_xmlhttprequest.asp

and finally combine what you learned from both!

Quite good learning experience to read both and then make a working script of both yourself! Both the great satisfaction when you finally got it working and you learn a lot more when you have to think alittle and not copy paste a tutorial.

Good Luck! If you got any general javascript question while doing it feel free to ask, or read the basics here: http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

i have tried with and without it.. but its still not running the script. what am i doing wrong

lol

js file

Code: Select all

function run_timer(){
	
	var url="../_scripts/test.php"
	xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true)
	xmlhttp.send(null)
	alert('5 seconds!')
	var t=setTimeout("session_update()",60000)
	
}

then in my php script..

Code: Select all

<head>
<script src="../_javascript/testtimer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body onload="run_timer()">
</body>

download the zip file (read toward the bottom after the example code he gives) inside the zip is a working example that you can see in action which explains things ALOT , basicallyt ita a ajax/js timer that runs a php script (getsearch.php in the zip) the example uses the twitter API as a example but you can change getsearch.php tp whatever you want , then it give a html page (html code) with it in use
