I've got the countdown done but theres one problem...

Cannot redeclare countdown()(previously declared in...

So I know what it means and all that I can't run more than one of these countdowns on the same script

this is my countdown script btw

PHP Code:

function countdown($year, $month, $day, $hour, $minute, $second)
{
 
  $the_countdown_date = gmmktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year);

  $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);
  $seconds_left = floor($difference - $days_left*60*60*24 - $hours_left*60*60 - $minutes_left*60);
    
  echo "".$hours_left.":".$minutes_left.":".$seconds_left."";
} 


and so I was wondering if there was a way for me to run as many on these countdowns as I want... the actual countdown amounts are called by this

PHP Code:

countdown($x['hour'], $x['minute'], $x['second'], $x['month'], $x['day'], $x['year']); 


the data is grabbed from a MySQL database and all that part is fine

Thanks!

Of course you can.

Your error is not because you tried to use 2, but because you tried to declare 2 different functions with the same name, which PHP refuse.

Declare the function once, and call it as many times you want with countdown(x,y,z...);
