Just this sec realised that.. cut cheers!

My code is not working...
I've changeds the 15misn to 10 seconds for testing.. but it's not
working, any thoughts?


============================

if ((!isset($_SESSION[timeStart])) &&  (!isset($_SESSION[timeEnd]))) {

	$_SESSION[timeStart] = strtotime('now');
	$_SESSION[timeEnd] = strtotime('+10 second');
	
} else {
	
	$now = strtotime('now');
	if ($_SESSION[timeStart] > $_SESSION[timeEnd]) {
		$pageDisplay = "<B>TIMES UP!</b>";
	} else {
		$pageDisplay = "Keep going!";
	}
	
	$pageDisplay .= "
		<p />Current Time: $now
		<hr />
		<p />Time to end: $_SESSION[timeEnd]
		<p />start Time: $_SESSION[timeStart]
	";
	
}

============================
