note 11885 added to function.mktime.php

Here is a simple algorithm to "count down" exact time to a specific timestamp. $target is a php timestamp sometime in the future. $diff is the difference between then and now. ... so we begin $diff = $target - time(); $days = ($diff - ($diff % 86400)) / 86400; $diff = $diff - ($days * 86400); $hours = ($diff - ($diff % 3600)) / 3600; $diff = $diff - ($hours * 3600); $minutes = ($diff - ($diff % 60)) / 60; $diff = $diff - ($minutes * 60); $seconds = ($diff - ($diff % 1)) / 1; // the /1 thing is a little much but what the hell :P http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
