Timer script help

[yummy_tummy6]

ok at the risk of sounding retarded I need some kind of script or something that will tell the time entered on to a page and the time they left the page and who was at my page either by I.P addy or name of person (I.E. Bob) To explain why is I am a member of a guild and I am the only active member that knows a little about web sites and such. I was asked to find a game (word search) and set up a scoring system. Well I couldnt fing a scoring system for the game so I thought we can declare the winner by seeing who can complete it the fastest. Get it? LOL I know I'm nutz but I've been searching 4 2 days and have came up with nothing. Can some one please help me Im so clueless (and blonde;) ) when I comes to java script.

Thanks

Server side code is something like PHP or Perl. Yes, a hit counter is an example of a server side script. Client side scripts, such as JavaScript cannot do things such as count visitors because they can't write to files. Server side code executes on the server, rather than on the users browser.
