I have a FM radiostation as well as bradcast live over the net. I am currently using phpnuke with Sam broadcaster and need to get the following script to refresh after each song. Can a "Codewhizz" have a look at it for me please and put it right. I am trying to get it to "Refresh" th BLOCK ONLY after each song. This file is called by the block immediately following this script :

Any help would be very much appreciated as this is beyond me!

I believe that the actual block will need to set up the iframe and then the src page of that iframe is going to have to drive the REFRESH that you are looking for, so that it refreshes itself. You cannot put a META tag in anything but the <head></head> tags of your page (I think).

Thanks for the reply montego,

I am new to php and this is a bit "over my head". I dont suppose you could give me an example of what i need to do to get this working. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
