I am working on an auction page right now, not for publishing it into real world but only for experiment and enhancing my PHP knowledge

so basically I need a system that can notify a member where the member has been outbid by other member. I am thinking about notification like Facebook, where there is a notification center on member's dashboard. I have done researches about it but I cant find any sites that help me in building such system. I am sorry that I couldnt provide any codes for I dont know how to achieve it.

Can anybody help me please? thanks

    There are several methods to achieve this. My preferences are using long polling or websockets: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11077857/what-are-long-polling-websockets-server-sent-events-sse-and-comet – RichardBernards Nov 20 '14 at 13:44
  • I'd recommended jQuery. – Luke Nov 20 '14 at 13:45

    @Coulton why jQuery ? – Brewal Nov 20 '14 at 13:45
  • There is certainly no *need* to use jQuery. It isn't even likely to be all that helpful since, AFAIK, it doesn't have web socket helper functions. – Quentin Nov 20 '14 at 13:46
  • To edit the DOM to indicate a new notification to the user. – Luke Nov 20 '14 at 13:46
  • @RichardBernards How are you going to edit the DOM using long polling or web sockets? – Luke Nov 20 '14 at 13:48
  • Actually, there is a good plugin for websockets with jQuery : [gracefulWebSockets](https://code.google.com/p/jquery-graceful-websocket/). But yeah, no need to jQuery to make it work. – Brewal Nov 20 '14 at 13:49
  • @Coulton jQuery is a pure javascript library... So javascript can do all that jQuery does. Including of course manipulating the DOM – Brewal Nov 20 '14 at 13:51
  • @Coulton update the DOM using vanilla javascript: `document.getElementById().innerHTML = '
    nice
    ';` ??     – RichardBernards Nov 20 '14 at 13:51
  • I don't get what you guys have a problem with, it was a suggestion. Long polling and DOM manipulation can be achieved elegantly jQuery... give over! Other than suggesting technologies, this question's answer is too broad and non-specific. jQuery is a perfectly valid suggestion. – Luke Nov 20 '14 at 13:53
