Hi, I'm trying to include a cowntdown timer in my website. I've found JS scripts that do this but the problem is that I need the timer to keep timing down throughout browsing the website, and I have no idea how to store these variables. Does anybody know how to do this?

PS the site is in PHP, I wasn't sure which subforum was more appropriate for my request.

You'll have to use javascript for the actual real-time counting, but you're better off using php to store the time. Have it stored in a file or a database, your choice. When the page loads use php to calculate how much time is left and print that number into the javscript code, so the javascript counter starts from there.

Yeah but this way the "timestamp" would have to be stored once the user leaves the page, and I have no idea if this is possible. (At any rate thanks a lot lizciz, you've been very helpful this past couple days =))
