If you want to use this combo client-server side script on a number of pages, yes - each page that it is on would need the the .php extension. Or you could configure (if you have the access to your server to do so) all .html and .htm pages to be parsed as PHP. An alternative to that would be to make the main script external and give it the .php extension. Name it - say, countdown.php. If you do that, you could use an external script tag on each .htm or .html page you wish to use it on. This tag would reference the external file by its path and filename. If the external file is in the root of your domain, a network path of / would do:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/countdown.php">

* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for this script and 100s more.
***********************************************/
</script>
The above would go in the head of your page(s) that use this script, and substitute for the script section of Step 1 from the demo page.
The countdown.php file should look basically like so (you can still customize the various formatresults functions if you choose to do so):
Code:
<?php
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
?>

/////CUSTOM FORMAT OUTPUT FUNCTIONS BELOW//////////////////////////////
//Create your own custom format function to pass into cdLocalTime.displaycountdown()
//Use arguments[0] to access "Days" left
//Use arguments[1] to access "Hours" left
//Use arguments[2] to access "Minutes" left
//Use arguments[3] to access "Seconds" left
//The values of these arguments may change depending on the "baseunit" parameter of cdLocalTime.displaycountdown()
//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "hours", arguments[0] becomes meaningless and contains "n/a"
//For example, if "baseunit" is set to "minutes", arguments[0] and arguments[1] become meaningless etc
//1) Display countdown using plain text
function formatresults(){
if (this.timesup==false){//if target date/time not yet met
var displaystring="<span style='background-color: #CFEAFE'>"+arguments[1]+" hours "+arguments[2]+" minutes "+arguments[3]+" seconds</span> left until launch time"
}
else{ //else if target date/time met
var displaystring="Launch time!"
}
return displaystring
}
//2) Display countdown with a stylish LCD look, and display an alert on target date/time
function formatresults2(){
if (this.timesup==false){ //if target date/time not yet met
var displaystring="<span class='lcdstyle'>"+arguments[0]+" <sup>days</sup> "+arguments[1]+" <sup>hours</sup> "+arguments[2]+" <sup>minutes</sup> "+arguments[3]+" <sup>seconds</sup></span> left until launch time"
}
else{ //else if target date/time met
var displaystring="" //Don't display any text
alert("Launch time!") //Instead, perform a custom alert
}
return displaystring
}
The part of the script that goes in the body of the page(s) would remain unchanged.
