can anyone help me out making a timer it has to be something like.

/* they click the link */
$time = /*the time it is now*/
$time2 = /*the time before they can click the link again ($time2 + 2mins)*/
$timedif = $time2-$time
if ($time => $time2) {
/*you can click it again*/
} else {
/* you still have $timedif before you can click it *

i know its not proper code but i just did a quick example.

Thnx

Not sure what the context is..

Anyways.. if you click the link.. the page reloads.. then you can set a javascript variable with your php script sth like : <?php echo "var time="+time(); ?> and then you can use an onclick in the hyperlink to check the time difference in javascript..

I am not so sure if it is possible in php to stop the page from reloading/redirecting.

If you want something like:
you click the link and when 2 minuts have been passed you go to good.php and otherwise you go to bad.php.. then you should use something like:

<?php

$timeNow = time();
$lastClick = $_REQUEST['lastclick'];

if($time-$lastClick > 2000) {
location('good.php');
} else {
location('bad.php');
}

?>

Notice: i did not test this.. but i know it should be on top of your script. (location changes http header)
Second note: using a request variable isn't enough.. you should use the sesssion array but i don't if you use session etc.

the var $time2 is added to a database, so its easy to call it.

Edit: Doesn't matter all sorted (finally).
