Hey.

I need your help. I want to include a countdown timer in my site but I need some help with changing the html code.

the timer can be found here: http://www.oneplusyou.com/bb/countdown

it generates the html code but the maximum countdown is until 2010. I need the countdown to be until 2012. is that possible?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey. I'm not sure how to fix that script. You can use a much simpler javascipt. like this one...

<script>
 
//change the text below to reflect your own,
var before="Christmas!"
var current="Today is Christmas. Go cook some lamb!"
var montharray=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
function countdown(yr,m,d){
var today=new Date()
var todayy=today.getYear()
if (todayy < 1000)
todayy+=1900
var todaym=today.getMonth()
var todayd=today.getDate()
var todaystring=montharray[todaym]+" "+todayd+", "+todayy
var futurestring=montharray[m-1]+" "+d+", "+yr
var difference=(Math.round((Date.parse(futurestring)-Date.parse(todaystring))/(24*60*60*1000))*1)
if (difference==0)
document.write(current)
else if (difference>0)
document.write("Only "+difference+" days until "+before)
}
//enter the count down date using the format year/month/day
countdown(2012,12,25)
</script>

I don't know if you need something a little more exciting, and if you want a client side countdown you can try this.

<?php
// countdown function
// parameters: (year, month, day, hour, minute)
countdown(2010,1,1,0,0);
//--------------------------
function countdown($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute)
{
  // make a unix timestamp for the given date
  $the_countdown_date = mktime($hour, $minute, 0, $month, $day, $year, -1);
  // get current unix timestamp
  $today = time();
  $difference = $the_countdown_date - $today;
  if ($difference < 0) $difference = 0;
  $days_left = floor($difference/60/60/24);
  $hours_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24)/60/60);
  $minutes_left = floor(($difference - $days_left*60*60*24 - $hours_left*60*60)/60);
 
  // OUTPUT
  echo "Today's date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a")."<br/>";
  echo "Countdown date ".date("F j, Y, g:i a",$the_countdown_date)."<br/>";
  echo "Countdown ".$days_left." days ".$hours_left." hours ".$minutes_left." minutes left";
}
?>

Hope this helps.
