I am trying to figure out time functions in PHP. However, I come to know these time and date functions work on the Server. I want to calculate what time a user takes to solve a problem. That means I need to know user's machine's timings. How can that be incorporated? Do I need to use Javascript?
View 7 RepliesI was wondering if I could set the script below to apply to eastern standard time and not the users computer time. So it wont confuse users over seas, Im using it to display scheduled announcements as the header.
<script type="text/javascript">
var d = new Date();
theDay=d.getDay();

I'm using a javascript-based countdown timer that currently uses the client's system time to calculate the countdown. I assume that this line of code is where this is performed:
Code:
I'm trying to make the script use server time instead as some people may have wrong dates/times set or live in different time zones etc.
So what I did was use a bit of php:
PHP Code:
This gives a result but now the countdown is 30 days off. I am testing on my local xampp server (which also uses system time) so there should be no discrepancy. I also tried adding
Code:
But no difference.
I can post the whole script if required but it is reasonably long.
After a user hasn't triggered an event for a given amount of purple,would it be possible to trigger that event anyway?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI posted a similar thread about this in the .NET forum, but I thought maybe there was a javascript way of doing what I need to do.Is there a way to redirect a user to another page while keeping the passed in #parameter?For example, if the user clicks the link:
page1.html#event1
Can I redirect to:
page2.html#event1
Basically keeping the #parameter in tact?
I built 2 steps script - in the first page the visitor choose the date he want to schedual his appoitment and his location:
PHP Code:
<select name='zone'>
<option value='-4' selected> USA - EST</option>
<option value='-7'>USA - PST</option>
[code]....
In the second page he need to choose the time he want for his appointment (the time is in GMT+3 -> my local time). in this page the script also get the time zone and the date that he choose in the previous page (using POST - PHP). the date saved in variable. I used unix time (MKTIME function) I want that every time my visitor choose time (from drop-down box) a new cell/DIV will appear with his local time.for example - when he choose date: 10 May 2010, time zone: Austrlia - East Coast (+8 Hours) and time 22:00, New DIV will appear with the date "11 May 2010, 03:00AM" (there are 5 hours different).what is the JS what caculate and show the visitor local time?(I have, in PHP, only his time zone and the date that he coose in the first page)
I am looking for a TimePicker that will prevent users form selecting times that have already passed, is this possible?

I have a Javascript that calculates and displays how long, in minutes and seconds a user has been in online(Google Gears development) mode on a given web page. I need however, to modify the script so that it calculates and displays how long the user has been online on the web site. For e.g. on page 1 for 2 minutes 12 seconds. Moves to page 2 - total time on page 1 and 2= 4 minutes 13 seconds. My script (see below) starts a second counter then converts that to minutes and seconds. I have tried passing the secVar0 variable in the url but that comes back "undefined".
Code:
if(request.responseText != "" && request.responseText.indexOf("404 Page not found") == -1)
{
c=0;

There are two text boxes in a HTML form.The first text box takes the time when the user starts to work on a project. The second box takes the time when the user stops working on that project.Now, I would like to calculate the total time worked on that project for that user. That is (stop time - start time). I tried few things without success.

View 2 Replies View RelatedYou know how the get time functions pulls info from the users computer? Is there a way i can get that same information from a web site or a clock on the the same web site?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to make a switch statement that will display something different depending on the time of day. Once I saw something like getTime (?), but it relied on the user's clock. I know that you would expect me to at least research getTime so that I'm asking about something more specific, but I don't think it's what I need because I want mine to give the same result regardless of the viewer's time zone or how off thier clock is.

I have seen some fancy ways to prevent multiple clicks..... but a number of my cgi's eat up several seconds before they can respond and I would like to keep my user out of trouble.
Whatever it is. it has to be non-modal and not involve nph headers (my webserver does not support them).
I need to remember the time when user closes the window and later when he/she comes back, site will highlight latest news that happened when user was offline. So far the best solution I have found is jquery.unload (since I use jquery): it sends some data to php script (which remembers the time) via ajax when unload event triggers, so is it the best way to solve this problem?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to figure out with Java Script how I would have Java Script check and see if a check box is or not empty. The goal is to only allow the user to have one box checked at any time in a form. That means, if they click on another one and there is already one checked, it would uncheck the one that was checked and make the one that the person checked on next checked.
