...hang? I have a 2 player card game which works with PHP, and AJAX. A player takes their turn, and has to wait for player 2 to take theirs. Is it better to:
A) Have the AJAX client recheck for changes every few seconds or so (a 3 or 4 second lag is acceptable).
B) Have the PHP which responds to the AJAX request hang in a loop while it persistently rechecks for changes in a MySQL field.
C) Do a third thing I haven't thought of.
