Thank you !

You can track the amount of time like this:

PHP Code:

//question 1
session_start();
$_SESSION['time'] = time(); //timestamp 


PHP Code:

//question n
session_start();
$startTime = $_SESSION['time'];
$difference = time() - $startTime; //in seconds 


If you want to display an actual timer you will need to use javascript.

yup i had the same thought as null... session timer

to show it dynamically counting down you need a client side script such as javascript
