finding days untill event..?

[JD_]

i found this script below, but for the required date its returning 10 days. which is incorrect i just want it to display how many days untill the $target.

for anyone else

<?php
    #
    # Example of function usage
    # 
    $countdown = countdown("April 29 2005");
    if ($countdown != "")
    {echo "There are just ".$countdown." days remaining to get your ticket!";}
    #
    # countdown
    #
    # This PHP function is designed to return the number of days until a particular date.
    #
    # The only parameter passed to this function is the date of the event. It will return a
    # string containing the number of days until then. If the date is today then this figure
    # will be zero. If it's passed then the result will be blank.
    #
    function countdown ($dateto){
    $tstampfrom = time();
    $tstampto = strtotime($dateto);
    $datediff = $tstampto - $tstampfrom;
    $daysdiff = $datediff / 86400;
    if (round($daysdiff,0) > $daysdiff)
    {$numdays = round($daysdiff,0);}
    else
    {$numdays = round($daysdiff,0)+1;}
    if ($daysdiff < 0)
    {$numdays = "";}
    return $numdays;}
    ?>

It works fine for me. I'd change the function to:

function countdown ($dateto) { 
    $tstampfrom = time(); 
    $tstampto = strtotime($dateto); 
    $datediff = $tstampto - $tstampfrom; 
    $daysdiff = $datediff / 86400; 
    if (round($daysdiff, 0) > $daysdiff) {
        $numdays = round($daysdiff, 0);
    } else {
        $numdays = round($daysdiff, 0) + 1;
    } 
    return $numdays;
}

and this:

if ($countdown != "") 
{echo "There are just " . $countdown . " days remaining to get your ticket!";}

to something like this:

if ($countdown < 0) {
    echo 'There are just ' . $countdown . ' days remaining to get your ticket!';
} else {
    echo 'Too late.';
}
