Regresive time counter in PHP for an online trivia

[carlmty]

I need to make an online trivia, and send the results via email with the date, time and time that took the user to answer the trivia questions.

The send results via email I already know how to do it, but how can I stamp the time and date of the day, in the email I'll receive and also, how can I display a regresive counter in the web form, and when the user clicks on the send button, include in the same email, the time spent by the user, in answering the trivia questions.

I have little or no knowledge at all in PHP 🙁 so, the more complete the explanation you gave me 😉 the better I will understand

Thanks in advance

Use JavaScript to start the ticker when page loads (using onload event 😉 )

in the same form, where the send button exists, have type:-

<input type="text" name="timetaken" value="">

ask the javascript ticker to keep on updating this value.

you will need to use setTimeout() function of javascript to make sure the timetaken field keeps on getting updated each second
