Who is it bad luck for?
PHP is _server side_ a countdown is _client side_.

the number of people who know how to disable javascript is minute.
of the people who *do* know how to disable javascript, very few bother
to do so.
i imagine that those people who *both* know how to disable it and
*actually* disable it are probably going to manage to surf your site
without the help of a countdown ticker.

My oppinion is that the best way is Flash !!!
Just for the CountDown...
I don't think that someone will be afraid of flash !!!

Your question is not clear. Do you want countdown to be shown in
browser (inputbox, div, etc)?? or You just want to countdown the
seconds (say 10 seconds of sleep)??

You can, but the client won't see it. What do you need the countdown for,
anyway? If it's just for a more or less arbitrary delay, use an animated
gif and refresh the page using the 'meta refresh' header set at 10 sec.
I hate countdowns that don't do anything.

Roughly 10% do, depending on where you get your numbers

Or you can META Refresh at one second intervals, loading the next
incremented number page each time.
Or you could use an animated GIF
Or you could use Flash (as another poster suggested).
Or possibly a Java Applet.
I vote for JavaScript, though.

Your question is too unspecific/ambiguous.
What are you trying to do, exactly?
Why do you want to do it?
Why do you think it would be PHP-related, this question?
More details, please...

Re: Show countdown from 10 to 0 seconds
I have an errorpage that redirects after 10 seconds. So i'd like to show how
many seconds before redirection.
Within that time a visitor can chose to send an email to the webmaster.
So it's not entirely necessary, but it's a service :-))
So i need some advice to show (not how to redirect within 10 seconds) the
remaining seconds within my text.(not a textbox or somthing)
(Sorry, this page was not found. In 10 seconds, you will be redirected to
our main page.)

Then.. probably, you may have to try something like this
<http://in2.php.net/flush#52147> with META refresh.

Ah, yes, this is a javascript question. To make it usable for those with js
turned off, just provide a regular link under your timer thing. "if you are
not automagically redirected, or dont want to wait, click here" You should
do that anyway, so I dont have to wait.
