Ok, fairly new to php but I am learning. This may be an easy question
but here it goes anyway.

I have a website that is built on php/mysql. My members can send and
get email and instant messages. The problem is for the member to get an
alert that they have a "new message" the page must be reloaded.
Obviously this is a bandwidth kill, plus if the user dosen't pay
attention or view any other pages they will never get an alert.

Does anyone know of a way I can do this in php without reloading the
whole page? In an iframe maybe?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
