[SOLVED] php countdown help

[MrCreeky]

I have modified this countdown code and everything works fine on locally but when I publish the site to my web server the code stops showing the result. My local computer is a Mac running OSX 10.5 and the web server is windows 2003. Do you think this is where the problem could lay or is it something else.

 

<?php 
  $day   = ($row_rs1_events['ddate']);     // Day of the countdown
  $month = ($row_rs1_events['mdate']);      // Month of the countdown
  $year  = ($row_rs1_events['ydate']);   // Year of the countdown
  $hour  = 20;     // Hour of the day (east coast time)
  $event = ($row_rs1_events['name']); //event

  $calculation = ((mktime ($hour,0,0,$month,$day,$year) - time(void))/3600);
  $hours = (int)$calculation;
  $days  = (int)($hours/24);
?>

There are only  <? echo $days ?> days until <? echo $event ?> starts.

 

As you can see, for some of the data such as $day I'm asking the mySQL database for the information.

Fixed, leaving off the <?php upset the the windows server.

Using short open tags will result in code that is non-portable between servers, because you won't always be on a server where you are able to turn the short_open_tag setting on. Always using full open tags will prevent this problem entirely (full open tags will always work.) And you should be consistent when programming. Don't mix full and short open tags in your code.
