How can the issue of data not updating live in the table be addressed in PHP?

Issue: The data not updating live in the table can be addressed by implementing AJAX calls to periodically fetch and update the data from the server without the need for a page refresh. PHP Code Snippet: 

// PHP code to fetch and update data using AJAX

// Server-side script to fetch updated data
// fetch_data.php
<?php
// Fetch data from database
// Return data in JSON format
?>

// Client-side script to periodically update data using AJAX
// index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function(){
            function fetchData(){
                $.ajax({
                    url: 'fetch_data.php',
                    type: 'GET',
                    success: function(data){
                        // Update table with fetched data
                        // Example: $('#table').html(data);
                    }
                });
            }

            // Call fetchData function every 5 seconds
            setInterval(fetchData, 5000);
        });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <table id="table">
        <!-- Table content will be updated dynamically -->
    </table>
</body>
</html>
