I made a simple, not accurate but working way of counting down in days to a target date.
For simplicity it assumes a 365 day year and a 30 day month.
<?php
/*---Input Target day of month---*/
$day = '28' - date("d");
/*---Input Target month of year---*/
$month = '08' - date("m");
/*---Input Target year---*/
$year = '05' - date("y");
/*---And then we cheat a bit, it's only an approximate date---*/
if ($day <= '0'){
$month = $month - '1';
$day = $day + '30';
}
/*---The math for the number of days are easy---*/
$total = ($year * '365') + ($month * '30') + $day;
/*---And then we echo it for your viewing pleasure---*/
echo 'I\'ll be a dad in: '.$total.' days!';
?>
