My requirement is that i have a .php page that has to display some graphs/data based on data from a database. I would like refresh the page automatically and periodically so that graphs/data can be updated, as the data is obtained only on loading of the page. How can i do this ?
Maybe you can try the setTimeout javascript method
setTimeout("location.reload(true);",timeoutPeriod);
this would refresh the page on every timeoutPeriod interval.
