    How to cound with PHP and print resulsts live according to current time?
    For example, here is my PHP code. I get number, changing every second.

    $now=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$now_seconds = strtotime( "$now" );
$time_ago_seconds = strtotime( "$my_time_from_database" );
$diference_in_seconds = $now_seconds - $time_ago_seconds;
    Code (markup):
    How is it posible to see real time counting results without refreshing page? Should I use mootools, prototype or something else?
    P.S. I've no knowledge in JS or AJAX.

    Try follow:

    
<?php
$now=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$now_seconds = strtotime( "$now" );
$time_ago_seconds = strtotime( "$my_time_from_database" );
$diference_in_seconds = $now_seconds - $time_ago_seconds;
?>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
var diference_in_seconds = <?php echo($diference_in_seconds); ?>;
var t;

function timedCount(){
    document.getElementById('seconds').innerHTML = diference_in_seconds;
    diference_in_seconds = diference_in_seconds + 1;
    t = setTimeout("timedCount()",1000);
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<div id="seconds"></div>
</body>
<script>timedCount();</script>
</html>
    Code (markup):

    OMG... Thank you so much! It's working perfectly. After a lot of asking this thing in various forums at least I get it working. Now it's pretty easy to edit main features and make that I need. Thank you again.
