I’m seeking a solution that updates parts of a webpage dynamically using PHP, without reloading the entire page. I discovered an example in which certain page sections auto-refresh, though it wasn’t my own implementation. My experiments with jQuery only refreshed the frontend HTML, leaving the PHP backend and database untouched. Is there a reliable method to automatically execute MySQL queries and PHP code to keep the page data current?
hey nova, i used ajax with setInterval to call php scripts on the backend. it gets updated without full pg reload and works smootly for my project. give it a try!
hey nova, ive been tinkering with this. make ajax calls to your php scripts so backend executes queries without full pg refresh. its kinda bloomin fun. anyone else tried similar setup or have any clever tricks up their sleeve?
The solution that proved most robust in my experience was to incorporate AJAX calls with periodic triggers on the client side. In my previous project, I scheduled asynchronous requests that executed PHP scripts to run MySQL queries and return results in JSON format, which were then used to update specific page sections. This approach eliminates the need for a full page reload and ensures the backend remains dynamic. Moreover, careful error handling and optimizing the frequency of these calls can help mitigate performance issues and provide a smoother user experience.
hey nova, have u thought about using websocets for realtime updates? it’s a neat workaround to avoid full refresh. any one else dabbled in that setup or got extra tips?
