watsmyname Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 if you make with PHP you need to refresh or use ajax to update the timer, why don't you use javascript instead??

xyph Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 JavaScript can be fooled. Use JavaScript to show the user real-time how much time they have left. Start the test by storing time or similar timestamp in a database. At the end of the test, check if time() - 60*60*1.5 ( 60 seconds * 60 minutes * 1.5 hours ) is less than or equal to the original value you stored. If its greater, more than 1.5 hours has elapsed since the first timestamp was stored.
