Good morning developers, i have a website in form of nairaland. , please how can i update the front page with links automatically without creating it manually again using the <a> tag manually ?
Thanks

PHP cannot do this sort of thing

Rather you should aim at using JavaScript (preferrably a JS framework like JQuery). With it you can set a particular element on the webpage to have its contents constantly overwritten (maybe every 2 seconds) by a PHP code in a .php file

Php can do it, use conditional statement.
Posts will be moved to the front page if the logic is met.
Very simple.

I think the guy didn't understand the question.

If you read his second reply, you'll realize he's talking about something else.

I did this with node.js some while ago.
Will share the code with you.
Maybe you'd improvise and implement with PHP.
Also, it depends on the links you'd like to appear.... Don't know if you want every links as in topics user post to appear on your front page, or the ones you'd like to appear on the front page.

Either way, you can do it in PHP

That's why I said conditional statement
Eg if $post_likes > 1000
