Hi, I have a page in which users can make "posts" its similar to facebook, I am trying to figure out how I can get it to run the php loop say every 10mins, in order for the person to see new posts. Everytime a post is made it is added into the db and then the page is refreshed, I want to do it more "facebook like". Using jquery slide down etc. Below is what I have up2 now.
function postdata()
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "text",
url: "makepost.php",
data: "post_text=" + $("#post_text").val(),
cache: false,
success: function(reply_text)
{
if (reply_text.indexOf("Successful") >= 0)
{
alert("Post Made");
window.location = "index.php"
}
else
{
alert(reply_text);
}
}
});
}
</script>
<div id="content">
<?php
if (loggedin())
{
$ID = getID();
$query = "
SELECT * FROM `posts`";
$result=mysql_query($query);
$count=mysql_num_rows($result);
$users = "
SELECT `userID` FROM `users`";
$resultID=mysql_query($users);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '<div class="posts">';
echo $row['2']."<br /><br />";
echo '<div class="posts_bottom">';
echo '<p class="name">';
echo showuser($row['1'])."</p>";
echo '<p class="rate">';
echo '<input type="submit" value="+1"/></p>';
echo '<p class="points">';
echo showpoints($row['1'])."</p>";
echo "</div>";
echo '</div>';
}
echo
'<div id="makepost">
<br /><textarea rows="3" cols="25" id="post_text" ></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" id="post_bttn" value="Post" onclick="postdata(); return false;">
</div>';
As they are put into a new div everytime I don't know what to refresh? Such as if it was one div I could jus refresh that, but these are being created and I don't know how many would need to be loaded.
Any adivce? Thanks alot :D
