Fincikas Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 Hi, Im begginer in all php and i have few questions for experts 1. I wanna set one time for all website or server. So if people will change the time on theyr own computers time in website will not change. 2. How to do something like this, if someone press the link, in database or somewhere should start to count the time. After that time counts down, something should automaticly inserts into database. Exaple: I press link to upgrade level. Level takes 5mins to upgrade. After 5min my level should become 2 from 1. And that should change that level 1from database and add level to2. So all im assking is, tell me much as you can about time and databases Thank you all for answers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 1. I wanna set one time for all website or server. So if people will change the time on theyr own computers time in website will not change. The time/date is independent of the server. echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'); // Prints something like: Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM (FROM PHP.NET) Unless you're using Javascript which is clientside and will display the local time of the user. 2. How to do something like this, if someone press the link, in database or somewhere should start to count the time. After that time counts down, something should automaticly inserts into database. Use a timestamp. Create a 'timestamp' field in your database table. When the link is clicked insert the CURRENT timestamp and make the upgrade level link when pressed, check if the timestamp is 5mins old or not.
