Question

please help.

I\'m using Server Sent Events to dynamically update a website based on data stored in a database.

I now wish to pass a new parameter (\'abc.php/

Answer 1

Ok spent some time pretty much getting better grip on Javascript.

var source = new EventSource("xyz.php?last=0");
source.addEventListener('message', onMessageHandler,false);

function onMessageHandler(event) {
   console.log(event.data);//just for debug purposes

   event.target.close(); //close current stream.
   var last = "1234"; // loaded from event.data in my solution.
   var sourceNew = new EventSource("xyz.php?last=" + last); // start another 
   sourceNew.addEventListener('message', onMessageHandler, false); //event

}

and i seem to have solved the problem i had.
