There are no PHP pages, just HTML pages, 'constructed' by PHP and send to the client.

You could use statement
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10">
at the top of your html page.

This is a HTML and (maybe later) JavaScript question, so I will move it to that form.

Either use the meta tag[html]<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10" />
<meta http-equiv="cache-control" content="no-cache" />[/html]Or use setTimeout to call a function which refreshes your page.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. function refreshAfter10() {
  2.     window.setTimeout("refreshPage()",10000); //10000micro sec = 10 sec
  3. }
  4. function refreshPage() {
  5.     window.location.replace('http://www.yoursite.com');
  6. }
Call refreshAfter10() onload of body.

Display your screen and see it flicker every 10 seconds. How else do you suggest you can/want to check that?

I think that the refresh goes too fast that she's not able to find out if its refreshed.

@Hemavathi
Add alert('I\'m Refreshed'); in the onload of the body. And see if its displayed after 10 sec.

My screen is probably too slow. I notice a refresh being done. Time to buy a faster one.

Not really. PHP is a server side language, HTML and JavaScript run client side. And the latter has to be refreshed. So if you could force PHP to send a new HTML page to the client, you could. But I'd stick with HTML/JavaScript solution if I were you.

You are not talking about an RSS feed, are you?

If possible, do not use the javascript method. Some people block the javascript on their browser.
