In case you need a timer for your auction, giveaway or whatever else event, you can use Superlatanium's Countdown Timer, which can be reached here: [reasoningtheory.net] https://reasoningtheory.net/maketimer.html

Instructions:

1. go to the website linked
2. fill the needed fields: title, end date, end time; remember that time is UTC only
3. check the preview, and if it works as intended copy/paste it in your thread.


Example: the following timer:

(IMG:[reasoningtheory.net] https://reasoningtheory.net/countdown.png?title=Test%20Timer&year=2020&month=12&day=20&hour=14&minute=0)

can be generated by typing the following values:

CODE

Timer title: Test Timer
End date:
  Year: 2020
  Month: 12
  Day: 20
  Hour: 14
  Minute: 0

which will generate the following code:

CODE

also, i take the chance to:

1. thanking Tearlow for his previous timer
2. thanking Superlatanium for his current timer
3. encourage all users to report here any feature about this project

Current source code:

 countdown.php.txt ( 1.48k ) Number of downloads: 182

Super, can you add an expire= parameter? Like the old timer had.

Binglo used the old timer in tag votes, and set expire=Vote has ended. i.e.

CODE

$remaining = $endTime - time();
if(isset($_GET['expire']))
  $str_expire = $_GET['expire'];
else
  $str_expire = 'This auction has expired';

if ($remaining < 0) {
  $str = $str_expire;
  $textcolor = imagecolorallocate($img, 204, 0, 0);
} else {
...

Pretty please?

Thank you!

I have used the parameter already in the tag vote thread (I'm not linking it here 'cause you posted there not long ago anyway). You just coded something towards and interface that was being used before you added the code (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Gotta love URL/web standards/PHP robustness.
