Hey all

think this is my first post not sure lol...

But yeah wondering if this is possible:

To create a php clock which you can time stamp off....

because the servers time isn't working correctly for our browser based game were creating so... we want to make a clock with we can time stamp the turns off...

If anyone can shed some light on how we would do this it would be great

hi,

welcome to P2L

you need some cron files by the sounds of this,

then you have your DB run the cron command at any given time you set, be it 10 mins, 5 mins or 2 hours.

I have a lot of experience with crons and online games as i run a few, if you need help send me a PM with what you need and i'll be glad to help out.

do you have the crons made? if so, are you strugling to make the command run or struggling to convert real time to a time stamp??

let me know

If your php time is off then contact your server hosts and get them to fix it.

Typically servers run off their local time. They don't know the clients time, that's why you have to use timezones to correct for it.

What i'm curious to know, is how time doesn't work correctly? I mean, time is time, regardless of what form it in...
