You should use gmdate() if you want to how many hours left to expire $time_left = gmdate("H:i:s",$diff); Best Regards Farzan Dalaee

BUT time_left is 07:43:04 when it should be only "00:43:04". So - where is the hour value of '07' coming from??

Thanks for the quick response, but why do I want to show the time in GMT? However, I did try it, changing the 'time_left' calc to use "gmdate". Now instead of a 7 for hours I have a 12.

exp 07:34:52 curr 06:40:14 diff 3158 left is 12:52:38 The 52:38 is the correct value, but not the 12.
