I need to update my UI (webpage) periodically with new values. I have PHP code that grabs the values form a database, but I am not 100% sure on what is the best way of getting that data to the UI side.
The complication here is that:
1. I need to constantly update the values (every second)
2. I need to update many different areas of the page independently
Thanks,
