How can I make an action to be executed after a period of time! like onEnterFrame or sth!  
For example when I make a clock!

```php
date("i");

```

How can I make it refresh all the time so it’s like real-time… so I don’t have to refresh the page to see it change?

You can’t using just PHP. PHP is **entirely** server side. All that gets outputted to the client is HTML.

However, I belive you can use JavaScript to refresh the page every so often.
