[SOLVED] AJAX and PHP

[brocky]

Hi i was wanting to have a div that updates every second or so that displays how long the user has left on the network. I have a basic script that will fetch fro PHP the time the user entered into the zone through MySQL, it all works except for it doesn't update when the data changes. Any ideas anyone?

 

Javascript code (ajax.php)

<?php
include_once("../../../config.php");
include_once($CFG->dirroot . "/lib/lib.php");

prep_js("ajax.php");
?>
//The core AJAX script for all ajax calls made in this site
function createRequestObject() { 
	var req; 

	if(window.XMLHttpRequest) { //Firefox, Safari, Opera... 
		req = new XMLHttpRequest(); 
	} else if(window.ActiveXObject) { //Internet Explorer 5+ 
		req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); 
	} else { //There is an error creating the object, just as an old browser is being used.
		alert('Problem creating the XMLHttpRequest object'); 
	} 
	return req; 
} 

var http = createRequestObject(); //Make the XMLHttpRequest object 

//The code for the AJAX calls made by the login form (mainly the Country -> State -> City selector)
function sendTimeInQuar(timeVar) {
        http.open('get', '<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot; ?>/lib/ajax.php?a=time&timeVar=' + timeVar); 
        http.onreadystatechange = handleTimeInQuar; 
        http.send(null); 
}

function handleTimeInQuar() { 
	if(http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) { 
		var response = http.responseText; //Text returned FROM the PHP script 

		if(response) {
			if(document.getElementById("Remaining"))
				document.getElementById("Remaining").innerHTML = response; 
			else
				alert("An AJAX error has occured");
		} 
	} 
}

 

PHP code (ajax.php)

<?php
include_once("../config.php");
include_once($CFG->dirroot . "/lib/lib.php");

if(($_GET['timeVar']+300)-time() > 0) { 
echo date("i:s", ($_GET['timeVar']+300)-time()); 
} else {
echo "<span style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#FF0000\">Expired</span>";
}
?>

 

PHP code (index.php)

<span id="Remaining"></span><script type="text/javascript">sendTimeInQuar('<?php echo select_client("time"); ?>');</script>
