You use, constants as they have global scope.

<?php define('TS_START',time())?>
  <div>new name</div>
<?php   echo time()-TS_START; ?>

or if you cant do that because of your “large” project. maybe you want to double var it.

<?php $begin = $_begin = $__begin = time()?>
  <div>new name</div>
<?php   echo time()- ($begin ? $begin : ($_begin ? $_begin : $__begin)); ?>

poor programming though, there’s no need for that many vars for one small entity, I would rewrite with define and overwrite all instances of $begin with TS_START
