[PHP] OT - Quick JavaScript Question
I know this is a bit off topic, but does anyone know of a way I can take the server
time in php and get it into javascript? here is the code so far for my javascript
clock, but it uses the clients time. I either need to replace the Date() function with
another, or somehow import php's time. I have the time from the server in
$LogInOutHours:$LogInOutMinutes:$LogInOutSeconds $LogInOutAmPm
Thanks,
Jake
function startclock()
{
var thetime=new Date();
var nhours=thetime.getHours();
var nmins=thetime.getMinutes();
var nsecn=thetime.getSeconds();
var AorP= ;
if (nhours=12) AorP=PM;
else AorP=AM;
if (nhours=13) nhours-=12;
if (nhours==0) nhours=12;
if (nsecn10) nsecn=0+nsecn;
if (nmins10) nmins=0+nmins;
document.timesheet.time.value = nhours+:+nmins+:+nsecn;
document.timesheet.ampm.value = AorP;
setTimeout('startclock()',1000);
}

Well, that part isn't off-topic, in my opinion. JavaScript and HTML are the exact same thing from the perspective of PHP; they're output. So yes, you can get any information from PHP to JavaScript by writing it: script language=javascript ... ? $ts = time(); echo var ts = $ts;\n; ? ... /script My JavaScript syntax might be wrong, but hopefully you get the idea.

It needs that Date() function to keep pulling the time from the local machine I guess. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could pass the server time into the JavaScript Date() function to make it start counting from that time, instead of the users machine time.

That's because you're only giving it a static time and not a real JavaScript Date() object.

Any other ideas? The date/time on the system is correct. I tried echoing the time() in php, and get this, 1067373085.
