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:

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
