Is is possible to use php / javascript / iframes (As in the tutorial Here refresh the users browser or send updated changes to their browser without reloading it.

For example the User A requests to be notified when FOO is available from the server's database, and waits a few minutes (Seconds) then User B inputes FOO on the server database.

Is is possible for the server to notify User A that FOO is now available and the value of FOO???

Thanks.

the server cannot directly notify the user, they have to keep requesting it, basically, until the server can find it. This can be accomplished through iframes and javascript, however both can easily be disabled in most browsers...
