I'm an experienced c++ programmer, but am learning php because I finally have some free time for it.
But my question is if there is a way to dynamically update a text box area so I can stream text from my home server to it without using a browser plug-in. I've seen it done in web based irc clones where it updates my screen automatically each time someone sends a message.
My goal with this is to watch a movie in text at work from my home server.
But I can't install plug-ins at work (virus reasons), and streaming movies as text lowers my bandwidth enough my system administrator doesn't mind me watching them.
Thanks for reading and hopefully responding, and I'm sure it's either easy to implement, or impossible without a plug-in...
