I think I have found a better example, but again I have not fully
thought it through. I'm with you on the simple query method, but I'm
still trying to investigate if you 'could' use Events ;)

I simply get the client(browser) to refresh and then I supply the
correct current page - if something has happened such as an entry in a
referral queue, then the 'listener' gets a pop-up window. *I* WOULD like
to do away with the 30 second refresh cycle from every browser, so
rather than a simple refresh, a wait for a 'REFERRED' event sounds like
a good idea, but of cause the browser will time out before event happens :(

Since I don't understand things like RSS feeds (in relation to PHP at
least), I'm out of my depth, but as I now understand things, PHP *CAN*
be used outside the simple script environment, and will allow you to
build webservices?

If Ard does not pop up over the weekend I'll hassle him privately, but
I'm sure that there is someone listenning who can provide a few more
snippets to start filling in the picture ;)
