How can I input a specific *time* of day (hrs, min, secs)? Thanks This is exactly what I was looking for! How can I input a specific *time* of day (hrs, min, secs)?

I tried to use it for a lifespan script showing how much time I have left as an average life span... if I put in 2037 or before that as the year it works fine, if I put in 2038 or later it breaks and says they day is already over. anyone have an answer to this?

I currently have a js to do that, but returns # days only. Tried this and it works...but it's way off, accuracy wise. In my test, the correct days blogging is 266. Using this script returned 0 years, 8 months, 4 days. Even if every month had 31 days, that's waaaayyy off. Any idea why? Would much prefer php vs. js!

This orphans the hours, minutes, seconds...but I think that's livable! There may be a more elegant way to do this...just know it worked when I tested it. Replace the last section with this code: <p> <? echo $years ?> years, <? echo $months ?> months, <? echo $weeks*7+$days ?> days <? echo $text ?> </p> Taking a break from my tasty crow dinner, here's a modification to the last full script code posted here if you only want years, months, and days to dispaly as the output.
