trq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 You cannot have a php script countdown. You will need to use a combination of javascript and php and some ajax implimentation. Ever looked at Ajax? [a href=\"http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=112198633625636&w=2\" target=\"_blank\"]here[/a] is a quick introduction.

trq Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Sounds pretty simple to me. You'd just need to setup a javascript timer that requests your php function every minute for 45 minutes while displaying the time to your client.Ajax is a set of theories more than a technoligy, dont let it get to you.
