Simple timer script for command-line PHP
By admin | November 12, 2008
Are you looking for a simple timer script written in command-line PHP? If so, here is one pre-written (released under the GPL v2 or later):
<?php
define(“endl”,“\n”);
// Timer script
if($argv[1] == “”) {
echo “Usage: ”.$argv[0].“ minutes”.endl;
die();
}
$dtime = strtotime(“+”.$argv[1].“ minute”);
while(true) {
echo “Enter to check time: ”;
$tt = fgets(STDIN);
$i = date(“i”,$dtime-time());
$s = date(“s”,$dtime-time());
echo “$i minutes, $s seconds”.endl;
}
?>
Usage: When launching use first parameter as number or minutes to count (0-59 min). Press enter to check the time.
