    I have a student wall, where students can post any comment. the comments are all saved in the database using php. I have succeeded in saving the data into the database and retrieving them from the database. But i cannot auto update the page with the data from the database. Can anyone help me out please.

    You'll want to look into using an AJAX library (like jQuery) to create an AJAX call to the database to get more info and update the page. Auto updates are performed client side, not server side.

    Thanks Joe,
    I've been thinking about leaning a bit of Ajax for a while now - any suggestions on a good place to start?

    Start with the jQuery website and documentation. Don't bother writing AJAX calls by hand, jQuery makes everything so simple.
