Hi, i am making an areana style game, and i was wondering, what would be a good way to get a global timer for everyone and then store in a settings file and then load it when a usr logs in? I was thinking a savefile, but maybe theres another way?
"usr" is not a word for "player". Stop using it like it is, because it DOES cause a heap of problems.

As for your question, it's rather vague, doesn't make sense, and has nothing to do with your topic. If you want to save information, then a savefile is the preferred method. Using file2text() and text2file() directly is also an option if you'd prefer it to be in a human-readable format. If you wish to save anything besides text then a savefile is preferred, as the protocol is handled for you.
