Refreshing text question!

--0-439938717-1137549109=:48176
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi,

I did a little bit of script that refreshes a text slogan every 5 or so seconds with a new slogans and wraps to each slogan, I had about 5, and loops over and over again. This was done WITHOUT the need of refreshing the page. I think I used JavaScript but not 100% sure of this. Has anyone seen this before I seen a site use it?

I can't recall the site I did it for, I know I have done it before. I need the code again without needing to re-do it all again as it took me a while to configure it last time.

The site is written in PHP and uses MySQL.

Any help would be mostly appreciated.

J

Re: Refreshing text question!

Yes I can help you there..

There is a technique you can use which is actually more "browser"
friendly then the Javascript alternative you mentioned..

You can use the META tags in your page as such:




will refresh page in 10 seconds


CONTENT="10;url=http://www.operation-scifi.com">

will reload page in 10 seconds and direct browser to one of my first
highschool webpages..





For a quick reference I found this via the I'm Feeling Lucky of Google:
http://webdesign.about.com/cs/metatags/a/aa080300a.htm

Otherwise the good ole' W3C at www.w3c.org will have some great doco's
on it too



enjoy ;-)

I think that refreshing the web page with META Refresh every 5 or 10 second=

would surly P.O. anyone actually trying to read your web pages.

Re: Refreshing text question!

Sorry I had misinterpreted your question Jerry..

I thought you were trying to refresh the page, missed that keyword :-)


Therefore in context the page refresh would be quite annoying, I was
only introducing its concept in order to reload the page at a different
location.


Again, my apologies for this..


Kind Regards,
Julien Bonastre

Re: Refreshing text question!

And in response, i was sort of heading there with my response..

Checkout my sexy 'quotes' engine on www.operation-scifi.com


At bottom of page, there's a link "HOVER ON THIS LINK (Click to change
quote)"

click it to see the wowness effect

Implementing this with a timeout function of JS is quite easy too..



Anyway, back to work for me..

Re: Refreshing text question!

Well, somebody's got to say it: that question has nothing to do with PHP
and MySQL, which are server side.

I suggest you Google "free javascript" and you will find dozens of sites
offering free java scripts. Many of them will have text/text banner
offerings that do what you want to do.

Good luck,

Jeffrey

Hi,

No, no that is not what i am after, I know how to do that but it's not what I want.

I wrote some code a year or so ago with words, they refreshed every 5 or so seconds WITHOUT REFRESHING THE PAGE. It was written in JavaScript as i can remember. But I can't find where I did it. I want to have the code or a similar one without the need to re-write it.

The code does not require the page refreshing at all, just loops in a script and outputs. I might have to do some web surfing on it, pity I can't remeber where it is.

If anyone could help that would be great.

It's for a PHP site using MySQL. I am considering having the slogans in a database this time rather than just a text file.

Re: Refreshing text question!

Two ways I can think of to update part of a page without doing a full refresh:

1. Use an IFRAME so you're technically updating a page, but it's the page within the frame (not my favorite but works ok)

2. Or you can use asynchronous javascript (AJAX) to update just that one section of the page without doing a refresh. Here's Rasmus' great primer on AJAX, should be easy enough to follow:

http://www.time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5/java

One note I'd like to make that doesn't seem to be mentioned in a lot of AJAX tutorials. If the page your AJAX is calling doesn't have the standard "do not cache" tags, you sometimes won't get the results you want.. especially with Internet Explorer (in my experience).

Here's a block I copy/pasted from somewhere that seems to work fine (covers most of the bases and all):

header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT"); // always modified
header("Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header("Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0", false); // HTTP/1.1
header("Pragma: no-cache"); // HTTP/1.0

good luck!

Hi,

No, no that is not what i am after, I know how to do that but it's not what I want.

I wrote some code a year or so ago with words, they refreshed every 5 or so seconds WITHOUT REFRESHING THE PAGE. It was written in JavaScript as i can remember. But I can't find where I did it. I want to have the code or a similar one without the need to re-write it.

The code does not require the page refreshing at all, just loops in a script and outputs. I might have to do some web surfing on it, pity I can't remeber where it is.

If anyone could help that would be great.

It's for a PHP site using MySQL. I am considering having the slogans in a database this time rather than just a text file.

Hi,

Thanks for people that have commented and responsed. One stated my question had nothing to do with PHP and MySQL. Hang on to your horses, 90% oif the people that responded responded in an incorrect method I needed. Hence the appologies soon blooded in but thanks for the meta refresh but I know how to do this but thanks again!

Now regarding "It's not a PHP/MySQL question" You too have FAILED to read my question correctly. It's certainly the funny season. I stated in my posting I will throwing the slogans/quotes in a db, fetching them and handling them in a db. Hence it will be as it's on a PHP page as I stated.

In the end I did what I did on the first porject I did something like this and actually re-wrote the code.

I have it like this:

http://www.tassiedemononline.org.au/~bps/

Click through the alert thing, that is for the owners. The site is way early devolopment. But you'll see a manual picture in the main page, under it is the refreshing text I was talking about and wanted. (Hard to explain)

I actually enhanced the code a bit so I could change font size of the text, text colour and lots more. My first attempt at it would only output in plain text. What not ideal for this sort of site.

Thanks for peoples assistance though, I am not sure what they call this sort of text refreshing.

Jerry

Well, seeing you are maybe serving this using apache, perhaps it is more
properly an apache question? But wait, apache runs under $OS so really it
is a question for the $OS mailing list? :-)

Sure, you might be getting the data via php/mysql, but the actual method you
use to make the outcome how you want it, is not php.

I just had to say that before the real pedants on the list get started :-)

Add or Subtract

I've been considering doing a little project for my community site which
allow people to sell and buy players ... They would have a limit of
2,000,000 upon sign up .. However i'm not sure how i'd update this figure
.....

Say player sells for example Alan Shearer for £300,000 he'd then have
2,300,000 how would i make it add to whats in the db already? same goes for
if he was sold and it went down to 1,700,000.

You haven't read the mysql docs much, I guess. Assuming you are storing=20
your limit as an integer:

UPDATE table SET value =3D value + $newamount WHERE [something to identify=
=20
the record to be updated]

where $newamount is the positive or negative value of the increase passed=20
in from wherever.=20

Re: Add or Subtract

Thats not even a docs question..


Thats a "have you ever even sat down at a single teaching of SQL
principles or read ANY basic SQL material at all" question.


Really man. UPDATE is one of the four most common SQL standard functions
you will and should know quite well.

SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE


I'm not having a go here, but maybe you should checkout like a basics of
mysql e-book or something, I've landed on some goodies in the past and
they're just fantastic, I've ended up mastering SQL query construction
like spelling my name now. All shapes sizes, constraints of queries and
where and how to use certain functions, where to use what, aggregate
functions, stats, subqueries, multiple tables,transactional locking, etc
etc etc its so exciting, really.



Enjoy!!
