Im in the middle of a multiplayer blackjack game,
however im in need of a method so that when the time runs out that the script gets hold of another page which will calculate all the results,
I then want it to post the results on the same page, however I want this script to run when the timer runs out without the player having to refresh the page.
Greatful for any help.
Sounds like a job for javascript/jquery 
setInterval(function() {
// do something here after 3 seconds...
}, 3000);
This little snippet will perform some action after three (3000 = 3) seconds.
Hope that helps,
