display time

Mar 29th, 2008

If i have, for example, a marquee that displays time when i push a button,like this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
 if($_POST['time'])
 echo "<marquee direction=right behavior=alternate scrolldelay=500 scrollamount=30>".date('d-m-Y').' GMT'.date('P').'  '.date('H:i:s')."</marquee>";
 if($_POST['time'])
 echo "<marquee direction=right behavior=alternate scrolldelay=500 scrollamount=30>".date('d-m-Y').' GMT'.date('P').'  '.date('H:i:s')."</marquee>";

,it will display the time at the moment that i pushed the button. How could i make it to display the time continously?

Cheers

Re: display time

thank you,that works

i wrote a similar code (i think) and included the condition that the clock should appear when pushing a button...but when i push the button nothing happens...any ideas?

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
var s=today.getSeconds();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
m=checkTime(m);
s=checkTime(s);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s;
t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);
}
 
function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="startTime()">
<form method=post action=d.php>
<input type=submit value="Push for time!" name=time />
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
<input type=submit value="Push to stop time!" name=stoptime />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['time']))
if($_POST['time'])
echo "<marquee direction=right behavior=alternate scrolldelay=500 scrollamount=30><div id='txt'></div></marquee>";
?>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function startTime()
{
var today=new Date();
var h=today.getHours();
var m=today.getMinutes();
var s=today.getSeconds();
// add a zero in front of numbers<10
m=checkTime(m);
s=checkTime(s);
document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML=h+":"+m+":"+s;
t=setTimeout('startTime()',500);
}

function checkTime(i)
{
if (i<10)
  {
  i="0" + i;
  }
return i;
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="startTime()">
<form method=post action=d.php>
<input type=submit value="Push for time!" name=time />
&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
<input type=submit value="Push to stop time!" name=stoptime />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['time']))
if($_POST['time'])
echo "<marquee direction=right behavior=alternate scrolldelay=500 scrollamount=30><div id='txt'></div></marquee>";
?>
</body>
</html>

EDIT: without the marquee tags, the script works
