Timer not refreshing

[matiasgv]

Hi all,

It sure has been a while since I last posted here. So long my old user got purged, but it is good to be back :)

I have a query which is driving me a bit insane. In short, every time a user clicks on a crime it reduces x amount of brave and it replenishes in y amount of time. Basic stuff. So I have a timer countdown which depletes time. That all works great. MY problem is that when it reaches 0, I would expect it to restart counting down from x and it is not. Obviously, if I go to another page, the counter works fine, but I would like it to start counting down again automatically. This is what I have:

 

// BRAVE UPDATE
if ($brave < $maxbrave) {
?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	$(function () {
	$('#bminimal').countdown({until: +<?echo $time_Bra;?>, compact: true,
	format: 'MS', expiryUrl: '<?echo $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"];?>'});
	return false;
	});
	</script>			
<?
if ($time_Bra < 0) {
	if ($ns1['nextBra'] <= $microtime) {
		if (($maxbrave-$brave) <= (($maxbrave/10)+0.5)) {
			$db->query("UPDATE ue_userstats SET userstat_brave=userstat_maxbrave WHERE userstat_id=$userid");
		}else{
			$db->query("UPDATE ue_userstats SET userstat_brave=userstat_brave+((userstat_maxbrave/10)+0.5) WHERE userstat_id=$userid");
			$db->query("UPDATE ue_nextstats SET nextBra=$bnextstat WHERE nextUser=$userid");
		}
	}
}
}else{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#bminimal').countdown({until: +0, compact: true,
format: 'MS'});
});
</script>
<?
}

 

Any help appreciated.

It'll be to do with the fact that your countdown time is being set by a PHP variable, after your php page loads, that variable will disappear, what you want is a callback function. Once it reaches 0, call a function which starts a new timer

Do you mean this part

until: +<?echo $time_Bra;?>

until: +<?echo $time_Bra;?>

Yep. Once your page loads $time_Bra no longer exists so if you want the timer to start again you need a different way of setting the time using javascript
