Use the mktime function, and do the backwards math.

//mktime(hour,minutes,seconds,month,date,year);

$thursday = mktime(0,0,0,6,20,2002);

$secs_till = ($thursday - time());
$days_till = ($thursday / (60 60 24));
$hours_till = ($thursday / (60 * 60));
$mins_till = ($thursday / (60));

$next_thurs = strtotime("next Thursday");
$seconds_till_thurs = $next_thurs - time();

Then just do the math on the number of seconds to break it into days, hours, minutes and seconds
