    Hi. I'm trying to refresh a php-file that is included in the other one, but I am not able to do so. Here's what I want to do (simple version):

    File 1:
    <html>
    <head>

    </head>
    <body>
    <div>

    </div>
    </body>
    </html>

    File 2:
    So, what I want to do, is to shuffle the variable every 10 seconds, thus making a new, and different, entry from the array to be echoed out in file 1.

    I don't think that's possible. When you include a php file(s), it runs it as if it's one file

    you can do your shuffling at page generation time and set a timed redirect ( php header(location: xxx ) or html meta redirect ) that actually regenerates the page and append the randomly picked next variable as get parameter

    Javascript would be the best option here.
