help with timer

hello members, I'm new here and would like some help !


My webpage has a 30 seconds timer which counts down to 0 and gives a result

well the timer is known as x

so my users don't wanna wait for it , they just cheat using the following code :

javascript:var x=1

, is there anyway to prevent that from happening ?

i hope you help me as fast as possible , this is really urgent .

Thanks

 

Welcome to DP, I hope there will be someone could help you with that. be patient.

 

use setTimeout or a framework like mootools or jquery. do this as an anonymous function on a delay

// via mootools it would go...
(function() {
// code to run here after 30 seconds elapse.
}).delay(30000);

// via vanilla js it can be as:
setTimeout(30000, function() {
// what to run after it expires.
});

PHP:

unless you reference this as var timeController = setTimeout, even clearTimeout (or $clear in mootools) won't be able to stop the event or speed it up.
make sure you leave the function as anonymous here and don't do something like:

function showResults() {
...
}

setTimeout(30000, showResults);

PHP:

else, they can do javascript:showResults() instead of owning your timer.

 

Lol.
I guess you're owning a PTC site using YourOwnBux XD. I fixed it in my PTC btw.

 

wtf?
