Page refresh script
« on: February 14, 2009, 12:17:05 AM »
Well I have googled and googled and I must have a block about suitable keywords or what.  ](*,)

I am after a script which will refresh a page every minute but after 10 minutes stop refreshing and pop up a prompt to the user asking if they wish to continue refreshing the page. An anti page camping script effectively.

Anyone got any ideas

lars, if you re-read his request... It is for a "smart" refresh.   load every x seconds, then ask if they want to continute.... so the visitor does not unknowingly or intentional park on the page and make it work all day...

Your on to it  :-P
It is a static page which has to be refreshed to get new values. I know about the meta refresh and even a few java script refreshes but none of those will prevent someone logging into the page all day and consuming a heap of bandwidth.
The problem is that any variable used to count the refresh and stop it after so many gets destroyed by the refresh.
I am considering doing it as a part of the URL, but that is fraught with risk from code injection.
eg http://chh-p.dyndns.org/index1-gaugues.php?refresh1
    http://chh-p.dyndns.org/index1-gaugues.php?refresh2
    http://chh-p.dyndns.org/index1-gaugues.php?refresh3 (and so on till limit reached)
