We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

Thanks. Really the only communication is the periodic updates, besides the odd submission of data, so just including the updates in a packet already being sent wouldn't help. I also looked into Socket.io, but since I'm using PHP, it required a lot of other things for it to work (since I'd have to use elephant.io). Since this is just a toy project (a chat client), I opted to just include a refresh button since polling ended up using a lot of data in my tests. Thanks anyways for your answer though.
