Reoccuring Countdown

[SharkBait]

Hi,

 

  Not sure how to go about this but I need to figure out how to get a countdown from a day and then make it reoccur.

 

Well the countdown part is simple enough from a particular date from now. This is my little function:

<?php
function CountDown($date) {
// Timestamp the inputed date
$countdown_date = strtotime($date);
//echo $date ."<br />";

// Get today's date
$today = time();

$difference = $countdown_date - $today;

if($difference <0) $difference = 0;

$days_left = floor($difference/60/60/24);

//echo "Countdown date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a",$countdown_date)."<br/>";

if($days_left == 0) {
	return "Already Started";
} else {
	return "Starts in {$days_left} days.";
}
}

?>

 

But I want to make a countdown that will start from Friday of the current week at 330pm from the time now.  What is the best way to go about this?

 

I assume there is a way to find out what ever friday from now on is and then just check to see if it is the current week or not?  I think I am making it sound more complicated than it is.

I dont really understand what you want to do... strtotime() can accept things like "next friday 3pm" and such.

 

Orio.

Ah then that's what I want sorry.

 

I just wanted to know how I can figure out what the upcoming friday is.
