PHP doesn't run in realtime.
It is run ONCE by the server, then it outputs html, javascript, etc. that make up the source code.
Your source is then looping through the same output from php each time.
AJAX is what you need.
But a 1 second refresh rate is awfully fast and could overload things.

No.
Javascript doesn't run PHP.
PHP is run ONCE, then it sends SOURCE CODE to the browser.
ANYTHING in <?php .... ?> tags is replaced with text-only output from the PHP WHEN IT'S RUN.
Then, from that source, html, javascript, css, and a couple other things, are run.
Javascript, then, it constantly looping through the value of, eg, 3, if that was the output of the php script. It won't ever change.
AJAX uses a httprequest function that basically refreshes with javascript, not the user's browser, so it grabs the page off the server, thereby running it through the server.
It's complex.
There's a script on DD... "simple ajax routine", I think. Look for that.
There are also tutorials about it. Google.
By the way, AJAX is JUST a name for a style of using javascript, not a different language.
