Help [PHP][+Rep]

Hey

I want to design a script that will show a client how much time i spend on their project.. So on my admin panel I will click onto the client and view profile then i go to time and there will be a clock... starting at 00.00 and when i press a start button it starts counting up (eg from 00.00 to 00.01 then 01.00 as an hour) then when i press stop it stores it in the database so next time i go on it starts at the time i stopped it...

Can this be done? I know it can but can someone help me with this bit of code?

Danny

So basically make a script for you for free, and waste our time?

This is a request, not code help, and it would be in the incorrect forum either way.

It will cost £1 per minute it takes to code it. Take around 1hr, 60.00 - Reasonable pricing.

No i dont want you to make it i know how to do that i just need some help with the clock bit..

I was thinking of puttong the 00.00 in a text field so it can be entered into a database easyerly...

Why do you think it needs to be done by a database? It could be flatfile, it could be stored in a var.

I'd help you but I don't want to waste time on something that won't help me in anyway, so try uk.php.net/time

All im asking for is abit of help... This forum has always helped me before...

Yes, but you want all of the time bit done for you which is basically the whole script, nobody has made you a full script; but to save arguing I will not post in this thread again.

I've never seen you help, only ask for help. So why don't you shove your comments straight up your backside, because you've not helped anyone.

You should already know this if you visited the link I reffered you to, so I did help you just never bothered reading it.. So take that other comment up your backside with "Jebbo"'s.

Edit: If your going to -REP me, then leave your name, coward.

you're really getting on my nerves.. if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.. you're getting to be like me.. and no one can do that. Only me and Scott.

It's pretty simple. Load the time into a Javascript variable with PHP.

EX:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
// database stuff here that gets it //
$time = $row["time"];
?>

---

Code:

---

<script type="text/javascript">
var time = "<?php echo $time; ?>";
</script>

---

http://javascript.internet.com/misce...stopwatch.html

Integrate that stopwatch script into it.

Then when you get stop, have it to add the new time to the time var.

I'm not spoon feeding it too you, but that is one way to do it.

You could just as easily clock yourself in and add the time. I don't think clients care to the second, unless thats how you charge :P.

It's pretty simple, I'll code it for you if you want it's literally about 4 min. of work..
