Description: PHP Count down days:hours:minutes:seconds between current date/time and future date/time. I’m a newbie and would appreciate any feedback on my code. Perhaps there is a better/simpler way to do this in php and if so please fill me in, thanks.
<?php //Count Down of Days:Hours:Minutes:Seconds //by T.Gard ([email protected]) written 01/09/2001 // //Date/Time counting down too. $datetime=strtotime( "2001-01-27 11:00" ); //Retrieve the current date/time $date2=strtotime("NOW"); if ($datetime < $date2) { print "The Event is here!! or over with!! <br> ".$date2." is greater than ".$datetime."<br>"; } else { //List total time by type //Seconds echo "total seconds remaining: ".(($datetime-$date2)). "<br>"; $holdtotsec=(($datetime-$date2)); //Minutes echo "total minutes remaining: ".(($datetime-$date2)/60). "<br>"; $holdtotmin=(($datetime-$date2)/60); //Hours echo "total hours remaining: ".(($datetime-$date2)/3600). "<br>"; $holdtothr=(($datetime-$date2)/3600); // //Days - a day is a 24 hour period //This gives days remaining $holdtotday=intval(($datetime-$date2)/86400); echo "total days remaining: ".$holdtotday. "<br>"; // //Find hours remaining - get days in hours and sub from tothr $holdhr=intval($holdtothr-($holdtotday*24)); echo "hours remaining: ".($holdhr). "<br>"; // //Find minutes remaining - get days and hours in minutes and sub from totmin $holdmr=intval($holdtotmin-(($holdhr*60)+($holdtotday*1440))); echo "minutes remaining: ".($holdmr). "<br>"; // //Find seconds remaining - get days hours minutes in seconds and sub from totsec $holdsr=intval($holdtotsec-(($holdhr*3600)+($holdmr*60)+(86400*$holdtotday))); echo "seconds remaining: ".($holdsr).
