can someone make me a simple php script?

giovannicosta · 12-29-2006, 09:48 PM

Hi I would like someone to do this for me as I ahve no knowledge or php if you could, should be easy for someone with the knowledge, I need a script kind of like what google has for gmail where the MB increase gradually, I would like it to start off at 3MB and have 5 decimals, eg. 3.67898 and increase 0.00001 MB per second. Anyone that can help?

Here is a real simple little script for doing that:

Code:

<?php
$basetime=1167429446;
$mb=time();
$mb-=$basetime;
$mb*=10;
$mb+=3000000;
$mb/=1000000;
echo $mb.'MB';
?>

You just need to change the basetime variable to reflect the actual start time. Right now it is set for about 5 minutes ago.

Just so you know, increasing at that rate will increase the size by .864MB per day. In a week you will be at 9.04MB. You should consider slowing it down a bit.

how do I slow it down? and is the time in UNIX?

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-29-2006, 10:18 PM

The time is a unix time stamp. You can slow it down by removing the $mb*=10; line. That'll slow it down to 1 byte per second, but it will have to display the value using 6 decimal places instead of 5.

At a rate of 1 byte per second, you will increase by 1MB every 10.66 days.

Ok script implemented here: http://www.getmyfreehosting.com/

giovannicosta · 12-30-2006, 09:54 PM

Can you speed it up for me, about 5 times as fast as it originally was also can someone make it stop when it reaches 1400MB

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-31-2006, 12:45 AM

Code:

<?php
$basetime=1167429446;
$mb=time();
$mb-=$basetime;
$mb*=50;
$mb+=3000000;
$mb/=1000000;
if($mb>=1400)
 {
  $mb=1400;
 }
echo $mb.'MB';
?>

do i need to add an else echo nothing or something like that?

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-31-2006, 03:12 PM

That depends on what you mean. When would you not want to echo the results?

giovannicosta · 12-31-2006, 04:21 PM

like, when it got to 14000 it would only echo 14000. Is thats what its doing now?

I cannot access http://www.getmyfreehosting.com/.

And, are you after a javascript version aswell for live counting on the browser?

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-31-2006, 07:28 PM

The script now will stop at 14000, when it gets above 14000, only 14000 will be displayed.

If you need it to update automatically, like gmails does, you will need to use javascript to implement the above script so that it updates without refreshing the page.

giovannicosta · 12-31-2006, 07:29 PM

OK I need it in javascript then any help?

jumpenjuhosaphat · 12-31-2006, 08:07 PM

None from me sorry, I don't know the first thing about JS.

giovannicosta · 12-31-2006, 08:44 PM
