PHP is server-side, you need a java applet to do what you are asking. There
is a freebie (actually a trial version, but the company that made it is no
longer in business) called "Headliner" that checks a text file on the server
every so often and updates a scrolling display as changes are made. The
trial version places a link to their no-longer-existant webpage in the
status bar, but is otherwise fully functional. You can download it here:
