Can anyone please help me to find a way to change the content produced by a PHP Include without reloading the entire page.

The include produces a Div containing a scrolling list of links generated from a MYSQL query.
I would like to reload this list according to say different ORDER BY criteria without the overhead of reloading the whole page and it's Pix etc.

Using Ajax it is possible,No need to use PHP include() function page just create a seperate php page that you want to show within <div> tag and call that page using ajax.You can search in google you will get similar code.I hope it 'll help you.

I haven't used Ajax yet, so this seems to be the spur I needed to get to grips with it.

Any luck? I'm also interested in this answer...

I found the inertia of getting to grips with Ajax to be too much of a time consuming hurdle at this stage of the project.
So at the moment, I am fully reloading the page with the delay penalty that it involves.
I will retrofit the solution either Ajax or whatever after meeting the client completion deadlines.

Meanwhile, anyone else who wishes to contribute with an Ajax or other method head start is most welcome.

I’m a big fan of jQuery, and they have a lot of Ajax functionality built in.

You could probably just use .get()

With something along the lines of (untested):

CODE

$.get("test.php", { var1: "value", var2: "value" },
    function(data){
        $('#divID').html(data);
    });
