So for example I click a button what will send something to the database after 1 minutes, but I want to send it also if I leave the page 🙂

So if I leave the page when 30 seconds left from the 1 minutes the countdown will continue until reaches 60 seconds, then sends the data to the database.

Hope it’s clear. I think that I should use for this SESSION‘s but please let me know if you know the answer, or anything helpful 🙂

example: on http://www.travian.com/, when when you start building something, you get a countdown “will be finished in xx:xx:xx”; yet you don’t need to keep the browser open – the countdown still runs on the server, even if you log out.

Or lets say a real life example:

Imagine a blogging system like wordpress, where I write 10 posts a day but I want to show for the users only 5/day.

Or I want to show to users at 8:00 A.M.

Or another one taken from travian:

Imagine a game where you can create troops, but to create troops you need to wait because life’s not easy :D, so for a troop you need to wait 1 minutes.

    This is impossible. The user might leave the page because their internet connection failed or because there’s a power outage, at which point there’s no way to have them send the information to the database.

    What you can do is store the data in the database immediately, with a “do not open before” timestamp to simulate a one-minute delay, and add the additional constraint to all requests against that table:

    WHERE createDate < NOW()
