I'm not sure if this is possible or not but.
If I have a php file I'm calling like so
<?php include 'number.php';?>
which is a number that will increase every hour or two.
- How can I actively check if the number has changed?
- When the number increases how can I trigger a sound alert followed by a redirect?
What I'm currently doing is using a "refresh every 5 seconds" within number.php
<body onload="setInterval(function() {window.location.reload();}, 5000);">
Then I'm trying to use jquery to console log the number and check for increased values, but I realized that it wasn't going to happen so I will spare you the messy code.
This is what I'm trying to trigger:
$("#alert").get(0).play();
$(location).attr('href', 'http://stackoverflow.com')
Any solution is fine. Also I'm starting to think an iframe is the way to go.
