I need a way to update things automatically

[Phat-Cat]

Ok if somone requested a uhhh lets go with a review, so if someone requested the review they would complete a form, and it would show up on a list as soon as it was submitted and every time someone submitted a request it would show up on that list automatically-updating in real-time, or maybe every min w/e.

And then once it shows up on said list people could choose to give them a review or w/e by clicking on the link to that list. If someone clicked on the link and it was a registered user then I would reiceive an e-mail or smoething telling me XXXXXx has chosen to blah blah blah....

what kinda reviews? like product reviews?

do you mean, people go on and request a product review, so for instance the Samsung D600? and then other people can reply to that request with their reviews?

Well, whatever it is, you need to use php and mysql. Its the easiest way. Its not realtime, in the sense that you are thinking, but basically mysql is a database program. You should have mysql with most good hosts. The php list code should just get everything from the database, so that when someone submits another review, the database is updated and therefore that new review is included when the php code gets every result from the database. lol :D got it? heh its not easy.

Anyhow, hope this helps.
