Hi all,
I am going to develop a site for online exams in which I want to set a fix time for exams. So I need when a user start a exam then the exam will close automatically after time out and a script to display the result of user.

In the duration of exam user will navigate to many pages of site because one question will display in one time.

Pls. tell me how it is possible.

@MindzaiJul 30.2010 — You can set the start time in the $_SESSION superglobal and check this on every request. If the current time minus the start time is greater than your allocated time, you can ignore any answer sent with that request and send the user to your desired location via a header() redirect. You could also use a javascript to provide a countdown timer but this should be secondary to the steps above as it is client side and so could be manipulated by the user.

@Hemant_AgrawalauthorJul 30.2010 — How we can minus the time?

How we can get the request time interval?

assume that we make the session time to 1 minute on the page load, then if a user can not refresh the page for 5 minute then I want to auto run a script after completion of 1 minute.

@MindzaiJul 30.2010 — PHP only executes on the server side so you will need to use a javascript timer to end the quiz sooner - however as I said above this should be secondary to the server-side validation as a javascript timer is easily manipulated.

Success!
