There is a mistake in the (some way up) upper example. If you want to find out how much time is left to a date (e.g. timestamp taken from postgres) you can do sth like this: $fifi = strtotime(!!timestamp!!) - time(); in place of !!timestamp!! you can put any string, e.g. pg_result($result,0,datetime) from your database. $fifi contains number of seconds beetween the date and current date. Now you only have to div it e.g. by 3600 to get number of hours.. and so on... $fifi is negative (<0) when the day has passed, and is >0 when it hasn't been reached yet. It IS very useful knowledge ;) sorry but i'm not good in explaining things.. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26903 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26903 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26903
