I just do not know how to set up the database....

I pretty much understand the rest of how to write this script...

What part exactly dont you understand?

You would simply put the due date into the database, then use the [url=http://php.net/date]date[/url] function to count down.

I am not advanced at all with php and msql. I am teaching myself by doing it.

I meshed some things and put in one table in a database.

Can you tell me if I am on the right track...at all?

I am not sure how to send it to you thought because the upload function on this board will not work.

something like this, (using unix timestamps)


[code]<?php

$event_ts = 159893285;

echo "There are " . ($event_ts - time()) / pow(60, 4) . " days until the event";

?>[/code]
