Countdown to a time of the day every day
For this question:
I'm looking to try and make this countdown to a time, say 5pm of each day. Is it possible with this?
Result
Time until 5pm: 04:56:57Source Code:
<?php function formatTime($unixtime) { return date("H:i:s", $unixtime); } function formatSeconds($seconds) { $time = str_pad(intval(intval($seconds/3600)),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT).":" . str_pad(intval(($seconds / 60) % 60),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT).":" . str_pad(intval($seconds % 60),2,"0",STR_PAD_LEFT) ; return $time; } // explicitly set the timezone date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles'); // set the hour according to the rules of strtotime() $hour_in_english = "5pm"; $passed_message = "{$hour_in_english} has already passed today!"; $future_message = "Time until {$hour_in_english}: "; $time_now = strtotime("now"); $time_hour = strtotime("today {$hour_in_english}"); $difference_in_seconds = $time_hour - $time_now; // print $difference_in_seconds; if ($difference_in_seconds < 0) { print $passed_message; } else { print $future_message . formatSeconds($difference_in_seconds); }?>
