I would like to make a while loop which executes and echos out the values between 1 and 90, each being 1 second apart. However, instead of them all being written in a row, I'd just like it to increase the one echoed value, if that makes sense. It's supposed to be for a football game and is basically a timer. I am not too sure on how to do it so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
分享 You will hang the PHP engine for a minute and a half if you use PHP for the counter. The result that is shown to the user is a page with the number 90 that took 90 seconds to load. What you need is javascript to increase the values of a text span after a second.
In PHP, echo just the first number, and use JS to increment every second.
<?php
echo '<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function advance() {
var txt = parseInt(document.getElementById("timertext").innerHTML);
document.getElementById("timertext").innerHTML = txt + 1;
if(txt != 89) {
setTimeout("advance()", 1000);
}
}
</script>
<head>
<body onload="advance()">
<span id="timertext">1</span>
</body>';
?>
