So why you can't write smth like this:

<?php
$name = 'whatever';

print <<<HERE
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#loader").load("content.php?uname=$name");
var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
$("#loader").load("content.php?uname=$name");
}, 5000);
});
</script>
HERE;
?>

its easy you can add the id in any html tage such as <a id='1'>

 

Thanks all for the help.

 

I am glad that you are happy with the solution you have got. There is one easier way.

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#loader").load("content.php?uname=<?=$name?>");
var refreshId = setInterval(function() {
$("#loader").load("content.php?uname=<?=$name?>");
}, 5000);
});
</script>
