PHP - An Internal Countdown Timer
Hey guys and gals!
I am currently working on implementing the following functionality in one of my pages:
Whenever a person with a specific IP address visits the page, an internal countdown timer of 2 hours should be started. Until that timer is active, the only response from the page ANYONE can get would be a predefined echo value. Once the timer has run out, the normal script execution of the rest of the page should be restored.
Any pointers and tips on how to approach that would be greatly appreciated.
Similar TutorialsCan anyone help me to make a countdown timer in php? so basically i've made a quiz.. but i want it to have a time of 1 hour 30 mins.. but i dont have any idea of how to make a timer Here's the code for the countdown timer. It works. At the end of the countdown, it's suppose to show the message "EXPIRED". But that message only shows once I reload the page. The countdown itself stops at 00:00:01. Is there a way to automatically show the message after that, instead of reloading the page to show it? <style> div#counter{ margin: 100px auto; width: 305px; padding:20px; border:1px solid #000000; } div#counter span{ background-color: #00CAF6; padding:5px; margin:1px; font-size:30px; } </style> <?php $target_date = '2019-01-12 05:40:00'; $timeLeft = (strtotime($target_date) - time()) * 1000; ?> <script src="javascripts/timer.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ var timeLeft = <?php echo $timeLeft ; ?>; var timer = new Timer($('#counter'), timeLeft); if (timeLeft <= 0) { $('#counter').text('EXPIRED'); } }); </script> <div id="counter"> <span class="hour">00</span> <span class="min">00</span> <span class="sec">00</span> </div> Edited January 11, 2019 by imgrooot Hi all, I would like to create a timer showing a countdown from 0% to 100% (representing "power") ending at noon GMT on Sunday 4th September. The countdown started a few weeks ago, hence as of 1pm GMT on Tuesday 1st March, the countdown should be at 15% The "power" increases by 5% every 11 days so by my calculations, the percentage in our countdown should increase by 0.01% every 1900.8 seconds. So, with this theory, how would I go about coding it? I guess since I use GMT, I need to take a timestamp in GMT first, then calculate the difference between this and Sunday 4th September at 12.00pm. I am not sure though which format of time/date is best to do the calculation. Would it be better to use Unix time? Any help, suggestions and/or code is greatly appreciated. Skulty Hey guys. My question is simple. I have a time value of the future, in seconds, that I extract from MySQL. time(); How do I make an interactive countdown timer using it? It should show the numbers ticking away. I tried Javascript, but it doesn't go with the php time layout. Can anyone help me here? Thanks! Hi Guys! Hoping someone can help me with this. I need to produce a timer which I can embed on a website. It needs to count down the remaining hours until 7pm during the weekdays, then at the weekends count down until 7pm on Monday. Any ideas or points in the right direction would be greatly appreciated! I'm a bit of a newbie! Newbie PHP user here, so go easy on me . I've been trying to make a timer that starts on an arbitrary number of seconds, say 10 for example, then counts down to 0 (and refreshes itself every second for the user to see how much time is remaining), and then some more code is executed when 0 is reached. I attempted to do something like: <?php $goal = time() + 10; while($goal - time() >= 0) { echo "$goal - time()"; sleep(1); } ?> This didn't seem to work as my page just took a while to load - I suspect it was going through the entire while loop before displaying anything rather than just dynamically updating the timer every second. Also when I chose 100 instead of 10, the webpage didn't seem to even finish loading. Also it displayed a lot of odd text - not a timer at all! Help would be much appreciated ! So I have a count down timer on my site. http://fpsboost.net And I am clueless as to how I would set a final date with this. Cant find where it's grabbing the info for "finaldate" or anything like that. Want to set the final date to feb 1st 2015 Javascript newb here. Anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Btw, I'm using a generic js countdown timer from: http://hilios.github...uery.countdown/ called "The Final Countdown for jQuery v2.0.4" It was preloaded in a template that I downloaded for my site. Edited by jakobe, 09 December 2014 - 01:09 AM. Hi, This is my first post so dont kill me if i did somthing wrong. Im trying to make a simple php/javascript page that will display the time remaining in each period every day (we have 4 periods per day). I found a nice javascript library from www.hashemian.com and am using the example that he linked to to do multiple countdown timers on one page. The problem i am having is that the only way i can think of to make it so that it counts down to a dynamic date is to specify that date as a variable and then combine it with the string that specifys the rest of the date/time combo for the target date/time. The current live version is at smd75jr.com/test/index2.php The first timer is just a test that im using to make sure i havent completely broken it. THe second timer is the one im trying to troubleshoot, it is currently set for 11:59 PM EST "today". (see code below) Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I found this code that codes for a countdown timer. My problem is, how do I implement it? I've found similar codes that leave me dazzled as I try to get them to work.

Hey all! In the code in question I echo out individual records of data from MySQL successfully. For each record there is a number which is used as a var in the javascript that does the count-down-timer part. However when I view the resulting page the timer works dynamically only with the first record. With the rest, the timer is static. Code: [Select] <? $result0 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE field='$value'"); while ($riw0 = mysql_fetch_assoc($result0)) { $seconds1 = $riw0['seconds'] ; //// echo out data and set variable for the number of seconds to count down ?> <script language="JavaScript"> var countDownInterval=<?=$seconds1?>; var c_reloadwidth=200 </script> <ilayer id="c_reload" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; ><layer id="c_reload2" width=&{c_reloadwidth}; left=0 top=0></layer></ilayer> <script> var countDownTime=countDownInterval+1; function countDown(){ countDownTime--; if (countDownTime <=0){ countDownTime=countDownInterval; clearTimeout(counter) window.location.href="military3.php" //Redirection URL return } var mins = Math.floor(countDownTime/60) var secs = countDownTime-(mins*60) if (document.all) //if IE 4+ document.all.countDownText.innerText = mins+" minutes "+secs+ " "; else if (document.getElementById) //else if NS6+ document.getElementById("countDownText").innerHTML=mins+" minutes "+secs+ " " else if (document.layers){ document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.write('Soldiers will be ready in... <span id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </span> seconds') document.c_reload.document.c_reload2.document.close() } counter=setTimeout("countDown()", 1000); } function startit(){ if (document.all||document.getElementById) document.write('Soldiers will be ready in <span id="countDownText">'+countDownTime+' </span> seconds') countDown() } if (document.all||document.getElementById) startit() else window.onload=startit </script> <? } ?> I tried replacing the javascript vars with PHP echoes for unique variables, but then no timer shows up, even static. So could anyone advice me on how I could use this code to apply for all MySQL records? Thanks in advance, Thauwa P.S. If I am unclear with my quandary, do let me know. Thank you. Hey guys quick question. I have one static ip address that if i put in the broswer it will forward to the internal ip of my server and will display my website which is located on my server. In my house i also have a development pc which is accessibal within my local network and i would like to be able to view it from my website in an iframe or something. My goal is to just go to my website have a page which will load the local internal ip of my dev pc and display my wamp folder. so i can show my clients the progress on their site. I know this is now good practice but this is just and simplified example of what i am trying to achieve. I would like to display te internal ipaddress on my webserver so that when im on the road i can simply click a link on my website and display the content of my dev pc wamp server? Is ther a special link that i need to use? Is this possible with or without PHP? Should i use an iframe? Hi guys! I'm having a problem with my search bar on my company website.

<!-- SEARCH --> Hello, I am using the Pear Mail and Mail_Mime packages to send SMTP authenticated HTML formatted emails. I was successfully sending emails when I started getting the following error: sendmail: 451 Internal Error I check out the sendmail logs at /var/log/mail.log but that only says the same thing. I am running Linux-Ubuntu and sending emails from an address on a remote server (godaddy hosted). The interesting thing is that this exact same code will run to completion and fail. Any thoughts? Anyone with Pear Mail experience, is there any way to end the SMTP session, maybe that is the problem. I also think an issue might be that the server thinks my IP is sending too many emails, any way to provision against that? Thanks for any insight and please let me know if other information might be helpful to debug this.
Dear all, try{ $excelContent = chr(255).chr(254).@mb_convert_encoding($excelContent, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8'); } catch (Exception $e) { echo 'Caught exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n"; } Do you have any idea about this code? I try to catch the error but it's not work Edited June 28 by nitiphone2021So I have some php code within an html page (using Apache v2.2, PHP v5.2) that uses MySQLI to connect to a database and fetch some rows from a database. Everything works fine so long as I limit the number of rows fetched, if I try to fetch all the rows, I get a 500 Internal Server Error in my browser. I am using GoDaddy Hosting -- has anyone encountered this problem/know what the hell is going on? i tried to access website from a shared network but i keep getting this error. Before this I can access the website through my local host. But since we have started using the shared server.. i cant access most of the websites.. i searched on google they mentioned about php.ini settings. No idea why did my superior changed to iis server.. definitely works on apache before. hi, sorry if is a very noob question in this site http://thevalley.org.au/index.php I have changed the info in the link contact us, I know is there changed, cause if I hit the open in new tab contact us, or go to http://thevalley.org.au/contact.php it opens the link in the actual content, but, when it opens the contact us in the side menu, I see the old info how to refresh it, as F5 doesnt seem to work?? thank you! I look at my phpinfo() output, and it has ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15 all over it. UTF is not listed once.
Furthermore, mb_internal_encoding() displays it as ISO-8859-1.
For the most part, I stick to the default settings unless I have a specific reason to change.
Should I be changing php.ini to use UTF-8? If so, any specific advice how to do so? This whole encoding issue has been causing me major grief today

Please contact the server administrator, admin@example.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. How can i know the line number for error? Only thing I really miss from PHP is "internal" access modifier. Before I was making libraries and extensions in C# (like game frameworks, Tiled implementations, GUI loaders). Now, when I am working on my own PHP framework, I really miss internal, I was using it a lot in C#. Is internal planned to be added in PHP 7 or is it already in PHP 5.6 or it will never be added?
