Time Remaining

[gerkintrigg]

I'm trying to use this function:

It seems to work fine, but i'm wondering what kind of integer needs to go into it?

 

I'm trying this code and the number that's output seems to be far too long (time-wise).

include $root.'includes/functions/time_remaining.php';
$now=time();
$timeleft=time_left(strtotime($r['reg_date'])-strtotime($now));
echo $timeleft;

 

Could anyone help me please?

 

Thanks.

That function takes seconds as an input.

 

I think the strtotime($now) where $now=time() might be the problem -- time() returns a timestamp as an integer, strtotime() takes a string representation of a time and automagically converts it into a timestamp. If you pass time() to strtotime() I'm not sure what it will do. Just use time() instead of strtotime(time()).

 

This page has some good documentation on what strtotime does
