 * Hi,
 * I am new to WordPress.
 * We have an app that captures customer calls. Call info is stored in a different
   MYSQL DB, same WP server. On my blog, I have created a new page called “Outstanding
   calls” so it displays the results of a query from the customer calls DB.
 * I have successfully created a PHP script that performs what I describe here ;
   it displays the results in a HTML table.
 * Using the default theme, I customized page.php like so
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * @package WordPress
        * @subpackage Default_Theme
        */
   
       get_header(); ?>
       <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn" role="main">
       <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
       <h2><?php the_title(); ?><?php echo 'as of today, ' ;?><?php the_date(); ?></h2><br />        <?php wp_reset_query();
       if (is_page('What we are working on...')) {
                   $con = mysql_connect("some_host", "some_username","some_password") ;
                   if (!$con) {
                       die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
                   }
                   mysql_select_db("some_db", $con) or die ("Couldn't select the database.");
                   $result = mysql_query("select * from cases where status='Open' order by due_by asc");
                   echo '<table id="mytable"><thead>
       <tr>
       <th>Request</th>
       <th>Requester</th>
       <th>Created On</th>
       <th>Due By</th>
       </tr></font></thead><tbody>';
                   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
                       echo '<tr><td id="mytd">'
                               . $row['request_title'] . '</td><td id="mytd">'
                               . $row['requester'] . '</td><td id="mytd">'
                               . $row['created_on'] . '</td><td id="mytd">'
                               . $row['due_by'] . '</td>'
                               . '</tr>';
                   }
                   echo '</tbody></table>';
                   mysql_close($con);
       } ?>
           </div>
       </div>
       <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * and it works great!
 * Problem is that the page never refreshes! Ever! I run my PHP script from the 
   command line and see new open cases. How can I make this page refresh? I tried
   using “wp_reset_query()” but it had no effect….
 * Could it be because I am using permalinks?
 * I welcome your input. Thanks,
 * Al.
