Storing timestamp in variable for later use.
MissProgrammer replied to MissProgrammer's topic in PHP Coding Help
I'm interacting with a system that just posts data to a webpage. I attempted it with Javascript, which works great however the javascript variable which I am using for the timestamp is what is displayed in the C# application and I have no idea how to display the value instead of the variable name -
Storing timestamp in variable for later use.

Thanks for your reply! I've gave this a go, and it's not working as I need it to. Probably my explanation. The C# program will periodically check the webpage (every ten seconds) which is creating a new session and thus, the timestamp is different -
Hi all, I am looking to use php to insert a tag into a webpage that will be picked up by a c# program. The code that I have thus far is as follows, <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <?php echo "<tag>Override on Pump 1 Authorised by ABC123 "; echo date(' h:i:s'); echo "</tag>"; ?> </body> </html> So that the final output on the webpage is: Override on Pump 1 Authorised by ABC123 10:35:56 However, as you would expect the TimeStamp keeps changing. I need a way so that when the tag is inserted into the HTML page, it is that date that is displayed. For example, if i open the webpage and it's Override on Pump 1 Authorised by ABC123 10:35:56 then the next time I refresh it will be the same. It's possible PHP may not be the way forward for this, but the work needs to be done server side as the C# program will not read client-side (javascript) timestamps, it just reads the variable. Any help on this would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance .
