[RESOLVED] Remaining function

[Teach]

Hi guys. I've been looking for a days_remaining() function to work out the timestamp between now and a future date, and how many days it takes to reach the destination date... (only days)

Currently, we're using bulky code in each part such as:

$datenow = date('Y-m-d');
$start_uts = strtotime($datenow);
$end_uts = strtotime($find['end']);
$total_secs = $end_uts - $start_uts;
$days1 = $total_secs / (60 * 60 * 24);
if($end_uts > $start_uts) {
    echo "                    <li><span>".round($days1)." days</span></li>\n";
} else {
    echo "                    <li><span>ENDED</span></li>\n";
}

How could I make this into a function so I could simply use

days_remaining(strtotime($find['end']));

Thanks 🙂

<?php
  function days_remaining($end){
    return round(($end - strtotime('now')) / (60*60*24));
  }

  echo days_remaining(strtotime("Dec 15th, 2008"));
?>

<?php
  function days_remaining($end){
    return round(($end - strtotime('now')) / (60*60*24));
  }

  if(($left = days_remaining(strtotime("Dec 15th, 2008"))) > 0){
    echo 'There are '.$left.' days left.';
  } else {
    echo 'There are no days left.';
  }
?>

That's perfect - thank you!
