Nice job but isn't it a day or two off?

Is it dependent on the date you put in?

It does it like this:

lets say its 11:50pm of the 2nd january, and you put in to countdown to the 3rd, it would come up 0 days, or if you put it at 12.01am on the 3rd it would still say 0 days, 1 second or minute into the day and it's well, still ACURATE, jus says no days because it doesn't display the time, but anyway, its good enough for me

lol

Well if it makes you feel better you could replace

$return = "" . (int)((mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year) - time(void))/86400) . " days until $event";

Countdown Script
In this tutorial you will learn how to make a countdown script, its pretty easy....

Put this code at the top of your php file, in a header of something, or in a functions file ( e.g. functions.php ).

function countdown($event, $day, $month, $year) { $return = "" . (int)((mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year) - time(void))/86400) . " days until $event"; return $return; }

May I ask why you done that?
