Do you want this like a clock to continually update or just when a new page is loaded?

php could do the latter without using javascript via a cookie or session variable or even through a database value

In every page:

session_start();
//set the current time in seconds - unix timestamp
$now = time();

//set the session variable if not already set
if(!isset($_SESSION['start']))$_SESSION['start'] = $now;


//this will give you the number of seconds since the first page was accessed
$diff = $now - $_SESSION['start'];

//you can now do the simple arithmetic yourself.

if you wanted to do the former, i'd suggest using javascript and not really bothering with php at all.
