Re: also... a real time clock (no forms)

You can't have a dynamic clock on a webpage using a server-side script like PHP. That requires a client-side script or applet. What you can have PHP do is show the current time every time a page is reloaded. That's easy enough: Just use the date() function somewhere. And what the other guy that replied to you mentioned, using the meta tag to refresh the page every 60 seconds, that will simulate it but isn't guaranteed to work perfectly on all browsers. PHP is a server-side script and generates code before the user gets the page. It doesn't alter the page once the user has it, like Javascript does. -Mike At 03:16 PM 9/20/2001 +1200, you wrote:
