no ..

.. you aren't hearing me.. that's to refresh the page.. i simply need to refresh the data in a mysql location... ok

You have a server.... it send datapacket "a" every 5 seconds... how would you record and update that packet every 5 seconds in the mysql database?

not sure but try this

code:

<?

if(time()%5 == 0) {
do your updating-- your query *predictign you know hwo to do that*
}

?>

but im not sure if you are doing anything with mysql... you have to go visit the page to trigger the query--- or it can be done auto wiht out anyone... I know it can be done with out anyone for deleting at file.
