I recently made a small christmas countdown script. It currently only works in days e.g. start it at the beginning of the month, but it can be adapted easily to include months by using the numerical representations. Sorry about the use of crimbo in the vars, i was just making it as short as possible, enjoy: <? $crimboday = 24; $date = date('d'); $dayleft = $crimboday-$date; $crimbohour = 18; $hour = date('G'); $hourleft = $crimbohour-$hour; $crimbomins = 60; $mins = date('i'); $minsleft = $crimbomins-$mins; if ($dayleft < 0) { echo "Merry Christmas!"; } else{ print $dayleft." days, ".$hourleft." hours and ".$minsleft." minutes until Christmas!"; } ?> Please note the $crimbohour variable should be 23 if you want it in the time zone of your server. As my server is in seattle and i needed GMT, i minused 5 from this to give 18. The same can be done for all time zones to make it display correctly for your time zone. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38437 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38437&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38437&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
