[PHP] displaying time on the server
Hello, I was wondering if someone knew how to display the time on the server to a web page that resides on that server, and have it update the time each second? I was looking at javascript for this, but they all use the client PC viewing the page to get the time, but I want it to display the server's time. any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks!

PHP can't do this. It executes on the server, not on the client.

You can probably have PHP write your JavaScript and start the clock from the server's current time. This way, assuming the client's clock doesn't run too terribly fast or slow, it will be very close to the server's time. Hope that helps.

You'll still need to use Javascript if you want the time actually updating in the browser. Try to find some js code that'll let you pass a start time to it. You can then get the server time with PHP and pass it to js. It may be a few seconds off, depending on the delay of getting the time on the server and the js actually starting in the browser, but close enough for govt. work. :) ? $now = time(); ? script language=javascript js_now = ?=$now?; /script Then use the js_now js variable as a starting point for the clock. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
