I have a PHP page that lists a bunch of words that it grabs

  • 0

I have a PHP page that lists a bunch of words that it grabs from a MySQL database table. It displays the words in different sizes based on a count in the table:

<?php
 $selectStr = "select * from test";

 if ($results = MySQL($dbName, $selectStr))
 {
  $rowCount = MySQL_NUMROWS($results);
 }

 $i = 0;
 while ($i < $rowCount)
 {
  echo '<div style="float: left; font-size:' . (MySQL_RESULT($results,$i,'count') * 5) . 'px;">' . MySQL_RESULT($results,$i,'word') . '</div>';
  $i++;
 }
?>

The trick is that I want the content to display dynamically. So if a user is sitting on the page, and one of the word counts goes up, I want the word to change size without the user refreshing the page.

I am a novice with jQuery. I have used it a bit before, but only using examples. Can someone steer me in a good direction to have my page dynamically change the content without refreshing?

    You can auto refresh your page body like this … give body id=’body’

     <html>
 <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
       var auto_refresh = setInterval(
         function ()
         {
          $('#body').load('wordscount.php').fadeIn("slow");
         }, 10000); // refresh every 10000 milliseconds
    </script>
 </head>
 <body>
     <div id='content'></div>
 </body>

    Dont forget to include jquery inside your head tag
