title: PHP or Javascript Timer?
body: <p>Hi all I am really asking a more of a theoretical question here - but I am creating an application which is kind of like a true false answers webpage using PHP and have found that I now require the use of a timer. I am using MVC (codeigniter) and reload the controller when the user goes to the next question. I was wondering if you guys have any ideas of the best way to implement a timer - I can't put this on the page in JS as I assume that the timer will restart and haven't found a way of doing this in php. Is there a best practice I am missing like another controller to just perform the timer? - I apologise if this is a truly stupid question as I said its not really a coding issue yet more of a theoretical - I am also a complete beginner so please have patience</p>
