Ok, here is the problem. My bosses want a centralized point to show statuses of various events at our company. Not a problem. Then he wants us to take and design a site (PHP) that all of us can login to, so we can keep track of these events. But here is where my problem starts. I need it so that if 5 people are logged in and have the status page up when I change a status of an event the new data reflects on their browsers. Without a manual refresh. Is it possible to make the server push out the refresh?? or something like that??
Thanks

You can use a meta refresh, if you like. This tag goes in the <head> of the website and tells the browser to refresh to the specified page in about 5 seconds.
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5;URL=http://www.microsoft.com">
Or, you can use JavaScript.
