MmmVomit Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 This sounds like a job for JavaScript. http://www.javascript-page.com/clock.html Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/70202-solved-countdown-timer-refreshing-itself-every-second/#findComment-352605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew-Portal Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 if you dont want javascript replace your body tag with <body onLoad="setTimeout('location.reload()', 1000)"> Then it should refresh ever second! Oops wait I do believe this is javascript oops!

Psycho Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well, you could use the META refresh property, but why? This is definitely a JS solution.
