 * I want there to be an actual clock on my webpage. I figured out the basic php
   to get the local time for the reader and or th server time. but what i really
   need is a way for this to keep updating (maybe AJAX or something?) with out reloading
   the page. the final product would a small digital clock on the side of the page.
 * I am making a small plugin out of this just so the code is easily maintainable
 * inside the plugin is the following
 * function nattime() {
    $now = localtime( ); print “$now[2]:$now[1]:$now[0] “; }
 * and in my page
    <div class=”blox”>
 *  The Time is Currently
    <?php nattime() ?> </div>
 * any help to make the time update more frequently then a full page refresh would
   be helpful

 * Lots of scripts out there for real time clocks. Try some of the script sites.
   Why reinvent the wheel?
 * Actually, I think Viper might have a plugin for you:

 * aww. but reinventing the wheel is so fun. To be honest i just had trouble finding
   a good script that would work. Vipers plugin is sorta the idea i had but not 
   really, i’ll keep looking

 * Heh. Yeah, I understand that as far as it goes. I know I’ve seen some “constant-
   update” scripts on sites like dynamic drive and hotscripts.
 * [Of course, if everyone is using a current OS of any sort, they all have a current
   realtime clock anyway….]

 * ya, but this is mainly for me, when i am working or browsing the web i don’t 
   look at my clock, but if a clock is on the page i can realize if i need to stop.
