I am creating a PHP application, where I want one user make a database entry. It should be reflected to all the users whoever have this app open on their browser will get instant notification that some data has been updated on the database or with whatever data has been inserted.
Is there any way I can get real time notification of data inserted or updated? On all the opened browser without any delay.
We use AJAX for now. But it seems like our application is now working slow due to continues request. Any other way? Which is free.
Thank you!

Take a look at Pusher (https://pusher.com/). It does what you want to achieve and it works like a charm.
I don't know what do you use on your server side but even if it isn't Laravel, take a look at Jeffrey's Laracast about implementing real time notifications in Laravel (PHP). https://laracasts.com/lessons/pusher-awesomeness
Have a fun! When I did it, my app became extremely sexy. Real time notifications, DOM manipulations etc.

You can use web sockets. One existing library example for PHP is Ratchet.

I'm building pretty simple appointment system with node js, js and sql.
im getting the data: name, hour, day -> store it in sql (sending sms to the client) and edit the day and hour in the sql so it will not show it on the website.
everything is working well.
now i want that when some user made appointment it will show to other users that this hour in this day is not available (right now it is happening but the other users should refresh the page to see the update).
i think socket io can help me here.
i read all the documentation and its all about chat rooms.. before i get my hands dirty with socket io and trying to modify it, i want to ask for help . do you think it is possible to do it? and if yes what is the best way for your opinion.
thanks in advance
Yes. You definitely can use WebSocket API (or any library built on top of it, e.g. Socket.io) to update a client's webpage without it having to refresh the page.
You could simply emit an event from your NodeJS application on receiving an an appointment request and handle the event's payload at the client's end to update the webpage.

I wrote a small code in c# that reads files from the hard drive and outputs that info to a webpage using asp.net.
Information about those files is being changed in the codebehind.
I managed to create variables to read and display the info on the webpage, but they change only after a refresh. When I used setTimeout it would always read the same variable, leaving me thinking that the codebehind does not get re-executed.
How would it be possible to have them updated live without needing to refresh the entire page?
This is somewhat vague but if you want updates to the values on your page after loading, you'll need to use some javascript to grab new values and then more javascript to update values on your page.
There are some great frameworks out there. Unless you have a lot of front-end logic you need to perform through javascript, I'd keep it as simple as possible and throw jQuery in there for the AJAX calls (fyi, this is not the only solution, there are 10+ different ways to skin this same cat).
If you want a bit more efficiency, you could look into using SignalR - which wraps long polling or web sockets (depending on browser capability) on the front end and signals those subscribing pages on the backend only when changes have occurred to data.

There is no "right" answer to your question so the best I or anybody can do is guide you in a direction. Hopefully this answer helps you.

I have been searching across the Web to find a solution to this:
Basically what I want to setup is a way to have an HTML page on a live production site to kept updated. This is because I have setup a SilverStripe Application as part of a graphics system (green chroma key) that runs through normal HTML.
AJAX load doesn't seem to be an option here since the load would be every 1 second or half a second to make sure the page is live.
I looked into web socket quite vaguely but the whole concept of integrating it with my project confused me entirely.
Anyone got any ideas of what could be done?
To do this you'll need a combination of:
AJAX, you'll need to never do a full page load after the initial Web 1.0 request.
Session history management, you'll need this in order to not break the browser navigation (e.g. back/forward buttons).
Web Sockets, you'll need this so when new content arrives on the server it is received by the client without first having to poll the server.
Web sockets will be the greatest challenge. I listed them in the order in which you should approach the project, in three phases.

Okay guys, I'm trying to integrate a facebook-like messaging system into my web application. I can't post the link unfortunately because it requires login.
I have the database with a conversation table, a messages table, and the html page which calls all the messages based on the given conversation id. I also have a text area and submit button for sending a new message and adding it to the database.
Now I've heard two different methods..
That I should have javascript check for updates every second or so to see new messages, and update with ajax. Would this put too much strain on a server?
or.
To use a frame work like node.js. This method makes very little sense to me as I really don't understand requests very well.
So stack overflow, which method (or neither) would be the best way to implement this?
Polling is resource-heavy. You should consider something like WebSockets.
With WebSockets, you basically will have the client chat user apps subscribe the to the WebSocket, and then the back end server application would notify them when they should check for updates, or just push the new message updates out to them right over the WebSocket connection.
Here is a demo chat application you can look at. Here's the WebSocket website.

I'm wondering and don't think they use AJax such as setInterval() to request to the server every seconds. This isn't good way if there are million of users request in same time. What exactly is the tool they are using? It may socket.io or XMPP?
But I've seen in left slider bar listing name of online friends they might use this because when a connections was lost message show "reconnecting in 3,2,1 second(s)".
I asked this question because I don't want to use a lot of requests from clients like this.
MY JAVA SCRIPT
</script>
function getupdate(){
$('#newsfeed').load('getnewsfeed.php');
$('#notify').load('getnewnoti.php');
$('#message').load('getnewmessage.php');
}
setInterval( "getupdate()", 5000 );
</script>
Some divs don't update I don't know why. Ajax load doesn't support multi-load call?
Help or suggest will be truly appropriated. Thanks in advance.
I doubt that this is one "API" or one method to do the live updates, but I can tell you about a few techniques that I know of to direct you in the right direction.
Javascript setInterval() might work but it would not be ideal for this goal.
However there is a more complicated approach which is HTTP persistent connection http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection
Another is the HTML5 Server-sent events, using javascript listens to page update from the server. See this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_serversentevents.asp
