ok i want to make it so i can insert the time some one spent on a page in to a mysql data base the code i have is

[code]  <script  language="javascript"  type="text/javascript">      
<!-- Begin
pageOpen = new Date();
function bye() {
pageClose = new Date();
minutes = (pageClose.getMinutes() - pageOpen.getMinutes());
seconds = (pageClose.getSeconds() - pageOpen.getSeconds());
time = (seconds + (minutes * 60));
if (time == 1) {
time = (time + " second");
}
else {
time = (time + " seconds");
   }
alert('It has been ' + time + '.  ');
}
window.onunload = bye;
// End -->
</script>[/code]

how can i turn the java var ' + time + ' and make it into a in a $statment.

Php runs on the server so cannot mix with java[b]script[/b] (client-side) as you have descibed. You will need to have the javascript code request your php script from the server, or maybe look into using ajax.

You could do it with a custom session handler, but its no simple script.
