Refreshing select page content.

[TheServant]

Hey there again,
I have made a form which allows users to train soldiers depending on whether or not they have the resources. The content concerned is set out like this:

-- Header --
-- Info Bar (how much gold etc available) --
-- Form --
-- Footer --

Here is a screen shot:

Now when I submit the form, it updates everything except for the Info Bar. Obviously when you refresh the page, the Info Bar is correct, but submitting the form doesn't effect the Info Bar at all. I do not want to have the Info Bar in the form!

Is there anyway which I could submit the form (without including the Info Bar in the form) and have that line of code updated?

Thanks for your time!


[PHP]<?php include("../main/header.php"); ?>
<?php include('../age_0/forms/army_form.php'); ?>

<?php
if ($_SESSION['user_name'] == NULL)
{
echo("<p class=\"error\">You have not filled in your username/password. </p><br />");
} else {
?>

<?php
if ($tansaction_confirmed == TRUE) { echo ('<b>Transaction completed!</b>'); }
?>

<?php include('../age_0/army_files/user_race_data.php'); ?>

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000">
<tr>
<td class="TL_2">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="T_2">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="TR_2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="L_2">&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<?php include('../age_0/army_files/unit_table.php'); ?>
</td>
<td class="R_2">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

<td class="BL_2">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="B_2">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="BR_2">&nbsp;</td>

</table>[/PHP]

{

if ($_SESSION['user_name'] == NULL)
{
echo("<p class=\"error\">You have not logged in yet. Click <a href=\"../age_0/login.php\">here</a> to login. </p><br />");

You have not shown what PHP code constructs this page. Show any code within the appropriate code tags!

Updated original post to include that.

I cannot see a form, so that makes it a bit difficult. You don't have to have the bar in the form itself. Anyway, you can only do this by re-showing the bar-information after submit. So you either re-draw the bar after POST or redraw part of the bar (counter part) in 'real time' (using Ajax) after an event.

Sorry, I keep forgetting to put in the code where I use include!

Do I have to use frames?
