Hey all! I am new here so be kind. ;) I have a little counterscript. I would like to grab the printout presented in years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and make them into Unis of 60 minutes and have those count down together with the countdown in time. Say I have 4 days 5 hours and 2 minutes on the countdown. then I'd like to add a function that divided tose into hours and present that. How would I go on about doing this? The script uses mktime. <?php // parameters: (year, month, day, hour, minute, seconds) countdown(2006,8,31,14,0,0); function countdown($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute) { $the_countdown_date = mktime($hour, $minute, 0, $month, $day, $year, -1); $today = time(); $difference = $the_countdown_date - $today; if ($difference < 0) $difference = 0; $days_left = floor($difference/60/60/24); $hours_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24)/60/60); $minutes_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24 - $hours_left*60*60)/60); echo "Today's date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a")."<br/>"; echo "Countdown date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a",$the_countdown_date)."<br/>"; echo "Countdown ".$days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes left"; } ?> Do I need to add another function or could I just add another echo row.. and how would that be written? I am a newbie just trying to figure this out. I would need to grab the hours and count up and being able to define what hour it should start counting from and print that.
