craigeves Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hi Can someone please help me? I'm trying to show the days until / days since a specific event. The date of the event is pulled in from my MySQL database in the format YYYY-MM-DD Here is my code so far: <? $days=date('Y-m-d')-$row_getUsername['weddingDate']; ?> <span class="countdown"> <? if ($days>=0){?> </span><? echo $days;?> days 'til our wedding <? } else {?> days since our wedding <? } ?> </div> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194852-days-since-until/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigeves Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 This seems to work out the days until but on days since it will add a minus sign before the number of days. Is is possible to get the script working without the minus? <? $future = strtotime($row_getUsername['weddingDate']); $now = time(); $timeleft = $future-$now; $daysleft = round((($timeleft/24)/60)/60); ?> <span class="countdown"> <? if ($daysleft>=0){?> </span><? echo $daysleft;?> days 'til our wedding <? } else {?> <? echo $daysleft;?> days since our wedding <? } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/194852-days-since-until/#findComment-1024538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
