[FIXED] How to make xampp automatically update the localhost

Issue

I honestly don't have a clue what to put here... I have searched all over the web and can't seem to find anything useful :(

I am looking to make a website, but then I would like it to update each time I write something in the notepad (or at least when I save it) so I don't have to manually press F5 in my browser each time.

Does anyone know how to do so?

Solution

You can build a php script which check if your files are updated then you create an infinite loop or a timed loop on the client side to request this script. If it returns true (updated), you reload your page.

Theoricaly, it works but I discourage you to do it. It will consume a lot of cpu and will not be really usefull...
