Its easy enough to display a time and have it count down each time someone
views the page(get a timestamp and hardcode it in, then grab a current
timestamp when someone hits the page and compare the two), but if you want a
constant countdown updating constantly then it has to be client side. The
only way around this would be to throw in a meta refresh tag set to refresh
every second. This is not a viable option obviously, and technically it
would still be a client side alteration. You said the countdown could be
done with Javascript which is a client side technology, and is what should
be used to do this.

I mean server side.
What i thought icould do was use a cookie time()
but how do I extract the value and display it as day hour minute second
format
and also how do I change the value of the cookie to reflect the
different times someone will log on.
For instance by setting the cookie someone will have access for 3 hours
but someone who enters the site an hour later will only have access for
2.
Any help would be great Ihave nearly finished this project and this is
all that is hoiding me up, I am starting to pull my hair out and the
client is determined that it be done server side.
