PHP Time Until Timestamp (Countdown - Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds)

Asked by sgcity in PHP Scripting Language

Tags: PHP, Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 7

Currently working on grabbing a future timestamp and subtracting it from the current time to display a live on refresh countdown timer. It should display days, hours, minutes, seconds until the time arrives, I've got the days displaying easily, but for the time I suppose making the current time relevant should work. Time is relevant to the server. The code may seem a bit confusing, but all this time stuff is racking my brain. I hope someone can help me out, I think there's just a quirk in my code.Start Free Trial
