time left php function
May 5th, 2005
just a simple function that returns how many days, hours, minutes and seconds are left given a timestamp i put together. kinda bored so sharing some code XP
give either $time_left (time left in timestamp) or $endtime (an ending timestamp)
/* returns an array of [days],[hours],[minutes],[seconds] time left from now to timestamp given */
function timeleft($time_left=0, $endtime=null) {
if($endtime != null)
$time_left = $endtime - time();
if($time_left > 0) {
$days = floor($time_left / 86400);
$time_left = $time_left - $days * 86400;
$hours = floor($time_left / 3600);
$time_left = $time_left - $hours * 3600;
$minutes = floor($time_left / 60);
$seconds = $time_left - $minutes * 60;
} else {
return array(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
return array($days, $hours, $minutes, $seconds);
}


i can’t wait to see the new dmb fully-functional and open to the public! you’ve put so much time and coding into it… it’s going to be awesome
