icpeanuts Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi, I am new to php. I am learning how to program using php. I am doing a project now. I want to use php to create an ON/OFF switch/button. The default of the button is OFF. If you push the button, the switch will be ON. To the right of it will display in seconds how long it is been on. Once I click on the button again, it will STOP. The timer will display. Almost like a stop watch. Can someone teach me how to program this using php? Detail would be great, I am very new to PHP.

Crew-Portal Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 This would be very slow and innacturate depending on your browser speed. Try the AJAX (javascript) Forums!

PHP_PhREEEk Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Things that count, or tick, or whatever, are done with language that runs INSIDE the browser. PHP does not, it only processes at the server level. It does one pass over the code fed to it, then goes back to sleep. Therefore, as mentioned, javascripting is used for this stuff...
