How to make a "refreshing" PHP date? Aku, 050415 15:58
So, how is it possible to make "auto-refreshing" dates.

For example



<?php

echo date("r");

?>
 

So, this code would refresh the text printed on the screen each second.

Help! :D

Each second? In that case, a Javascript-based solution might be more appropriate. But as a proof-of-concept, the php would look like this:
<?php



// refresh after one second

header("Refresh: 1; URL=$PHP_SELF");



echo date("r");



?>

Thank you for the solution. :)

How about the Javascript-based solution? How can that be done?
