Use AJAX to check for a new message
- by Luke
Quite simply, I need to alert the end user when they have a new private message.
From a combination of research and other opinion, I realise I need to use AJAX for this.
The mysql query would be
SELECT id FROM tbl_messages WHERE to_viewed = 1
So when someone sends a message, I want an alert to popup on the screen to inform the user without a page reload.
I have absolutely no idea what I am doing, but know what I want.
Really need help with this, AJAX is definitely something I want to improve as it opens up greater possibilities!
Thanks
