Question

I’m just looking for a simple timer, where I can get my page to run a script after 30 seconds.

The idea is that the user has 30 seconds to submit an answer, otherwise the page will run a script and take them to a ‘sorry, too slow’ style page.

I cannot find the correct php function for this, but it basically we be like:

<?php

Start timer(30);

when timer runs out:
header("location: tooslow.php");
?>

Thanks for any help,
Brett

Answer 1

You could do this in Javascript using setTimeout();

var t=setTimeout("killPage",30*1000);
function killPage(){
    window.location='/fail.php';
}
function questionComplete(){
    t.clearTimeout();
}
