Howdy friends!

I have a little bit of an issue, and google didn't come to the rescue this time :tazz:

I have a webpage that needs a partial refresh... let me demonstrate and try to make it clearer... Here's the current html for it:

<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="120">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#e6d8e5">

<center><img src="/images/panacam.jpg"></center>

<i>Song Currently Playing on Musicmatch Jukebox:</i><br>
<?php
$file="../../whatson.txt";
$handle=fopen($file,"rt");
$file_content = fread($handle, filesize($file)); 
fclose($handle);
echo $file_content;
?>
</body>

As you can see, currently, it is reloading the entire page. What I need to refresh every 2 minutes is the php portion of the page. I don't think it's really a php issue, but I've been trying to figure out if there's an html way of reloading only that portion.

Any help will be very appreciated!

thanks!
