check box help

[maluch]

I need to be able to record at what time a user checked what checkbox for a purpose of an academic study. Is this possible with php and if so how? Thanks a lot.

You will need to use javascript. When it is clicked then you will probably need to use ajax as well to send it to the PHP to save it.

could you provide me with some sample code? thanks.

I do not know much javascript however I do know some but to whip up an example based on my knowledge of javascript would take too long.

 

But you will need a small knowledge of DOM and just some form and input names. I like using mootools as they have a good example and easy to ajax functions.

on what sought of time scale do you need to workout when they pressed it? when they pressed it down to the exact second? kinda like a reaction time thing? or give or take a minute?

 

if its option 2, when its selected and 'submitted' use time() to get the time they pressed it, then use date() to put it in a more readable format and then log that in a text file or database whatever...

I need the time that the checkbox was checked rather than submitted...

Then you need to use Ajax or code your whole project in flash.
