I did this tutorial,

[http://www.kirupa.com/web/xml\_guestbook.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/../web/xml_guestbook.htm)

works perfect but it doesnt update automatically online like I cant see the persons post unless I refresh or click on a different section of the site then go back to the Chatroom section

If there is another way to do a shoutbox w/o using MySQL that updates on the fly, if not can someone refer me to a tutorial that describes exactly what I would need to do for one with MySQL because I dont know how to use MySQL or phpMyAdmin I actually need to know how to use phpMyAdmin if I need it to refresh on the fly because thats what GoDaddy has. So I’d need steps to know exactly what and where in phpMyAdmin to put things.

Thanks :cowboy:
