[SOLVED] can't get countdown to work

[jakebur01]

I have this script that is supposed to check to see if it is meetingtime if not it is supposed to countdown then start the meeting. $meetingstarttime and $meetingendtime are unix time stamps.

 

<?php

//$meetingstarttime=1218973304; //just a test - delete this line for using database values

$te = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $meetingstarttime);
$secondsDiff = $meetingstarttime - time();

if ( time() > $meetingendtime) {
echo "Chat closed";
}else
if ( time() <= $meetingstarttime)
{
?>

<div id="content">
        <table class="countTable">
          
           <tr><th colspan="2" id="remain"><?=$te;?></th>
<script type="text/javascript">
v=new Date();
var remain=document.getElementById('remain');
function tremain(){
n=new Date();
s=<?=$secondsDiff;?>-Math.round((n.getTime()-v.getTime())/1000.);
m=0;
h=0;
if(s<0){
remain.innerHTML='Chat Time ';document.location=document.location;
}else{
if(s>59){
m=Math.floor(s/60);
s=s-m*60
}
if(m>59){
h=Math.floor(m/60);
m=m-h*60
} 
if(s<10){
s="0"+s
}
if(m<10){
m="0"+m
}
remain.innerHTML=" "+h+"h "+m+"m "+s+'s';document.title=h+':'+m+':'+s+' .';
window.setTimeout("tremain();",999);
}
}
tremain();
</script>





   </tr>
          
       </table>
    </div>
<?php
}
else
{
$chat->printChat();
}
?>

It works perfect during the meeting time. And after meeting time, it displays "chat closed." I just can't get the countdown to work for before the meeting.

The countdown looks like its in Javascript, so you may want to ask there instead.

[jakebur01]

yea but i'm getting a blank, does my php look ok?

This would be a javascript problem not a PHP problem. Please post the generated HTML for a page that should be displaying the countdown.

        <table class="countTable">
          
           <tr><th colspan="2" id="remain"><?=$te;?></th>

var remain=document.getElementById('remain');
function tremain(){
n=new Date();
s=<?=$secondsDiff;?>-Math.round((n.getTime()-v.getTime())/1000.);
m=0;
h=0;
if(s<0){
remain.innerHTML='Chat Time ';document.location=document.location;
}else{
if(s>59){
m=Math.floor(s/60);
s=s-m*60
}
if(m>59){
h=Math.floor(m/60);
m=m-h*60
} 
if(s<10){
s="0"+s
}
if(m<10){
m="0"+m
}
remain.innerHTML=" "+h+"h "+m+"m "+s+'s';document.title=h+':'+m+':'+s+' .';
window.setTimeout("tremain();",999);
}
}
tremain();
</script>

Is my php not processing in the javascript?

[jakebur01]

That was it.

<?php echo $te;?>

Try not using short tags.  Short tags are evil.

 

Wait.  Just saw your post because it said "someone posted while you were posting" or whatever.  Don't use short tags and life is better.
