Thankyou. But I need to have them as separate functions to call upon. And I'm comparing not start date and end date but today's date and end date. I do get a variable passed back to echo but its not right "14994 days". I think their is something wrong with my variable scope or where I am placing my include statements.

Have a look at below script, any ideas would be appreciated. It all works together if not within the MySQL Fetch Array. <?php include 'connectdb.php'; include 'time_compare.php'; include 'time.php'; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query2)) { $end = $row['end']; echo time_compare($end); echo "<br />"; $id = $row['itemID']; echo $row['itemID']; echo "<br />"; echo "Start Time ".$row['start']; echo "<br />"; echo "End Time ".$row['end']; echo "<br />"; echo "<p />"; } ?> <?php function time_compare($end) { $today = date(U); $today = strtotime($today); $expiry = strtotime($end); if ($expiry > $today) { $difference =($expiry-$today) ; echo time_format($difference); } else { echo "Item Sold"; } } ?> <?php function time_format($difference) { if (($difference /86400) > 10) { $print = floor($difference /86400) . ' days '; return $print; } else if (($difference /86400) < 10 && ($difference /86400) > 3) { $print = floor($difference /86400) . ' days '. floor(($difference % 86400)/3600). ' hours '; return $print; } else if (($difference /86400) < 3 && ($difference /86400) > 1) { $print = floor($difference /86400) . ' days '. floor(($difference % 86400)/3600). ' hours '. floor((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) . ' minutes '; return $print; } else if (($difference /86400) < 1) { if (((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) > 60) { $print = floor(($difference % 86400)/3600). ' hours '. floor((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) . ' minutes '; return $print; } else if (((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) < 60 && ((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) > 1) { $print = floor((($difference % 86400)%3600)/60) . ' minutes '. floor(((($difference % 86400)%3600)%60)) . ' seconds.'; return $print; } else { $print = floor(((($difference % 86400)%3600)%60)) . ' seconds.'; return $print; } } } ?>

I am trying to compare two Unix TimeStamps, one current date and one future date to see the time left, but I get a date from 1970. <?php //Current Server Time in Unix TimeStamp $today = date(U); echo "Current Server Time ".$today; echo "<br />"; //February 10, 2011, 12:00 am in Unix TimeStamp $target = (1297296000) ; echo $target; echo "<br />"; //echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',$target); //echo "<br />"; //Compare both timestamps $difference =($target-$today) ; echo $difference; echo "<br />"; //Covert time into more readable format echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',$difference); ?>
