Ajax. Search it. Learn it. Use it. Love it.
Or, go Web 1.0 and have the messages in an iframe with a meta refresh every so many seconds.

You might want to reconsider the programming language you're using. Continuous polling works, but it's rather wasteful in the long run.
A long poll is the better solution (open the connection and wait for data), but PHP is the wrong lanugage for that kind of thing.
