Countdown to same day each month

[KrisCons]

Hi all,

I am looking for a simple way to have a countdown function which countsdown to the same day each month.

On my page I will have a sentence that says 'you have x days remiaining'.

This day will be an integer - say '10'.

Once I reach the 10th day of the month, the function will need to calcuate how long it will be before the 10th of the next month is.

I do not need minutes, years, seconds or anything other than day.

Any pointers?

sure.... there is probably an easier way, but this will work for now:

<?php

$day = 10; // Change this as needed to whatever day.  Just using yoru example.

$today = strtotime("now");
$mon = (date('d')<$day)?date('m'):date('m')+1;
$mon = ($mon==13)?1:$mon;
$year = ($mon!=date('d') && date('m')==12)?date('Y')+1:date('Y');
$next = mktime(12,0,0, $mon, $day, $year);

$dif = $next-$today;
$days = floor($dif/(60*60*24));

echo 'There are '.$days.' days remaining until the '.$day;
?>

THere are probably much simpler ways, but that works.
