Countdown BBCode by WDZ on 10-14-2003 at 05:37 AM

reisyboy suggested this, and I kinda felt like coding it, so here it is. Might be fun. :p

This BBCode lets you place a count-down in your posts or signature. The time remaining will be displayed in days, hours, minutes, and seconds as necessary. This time will change every time your post/sig is loaded. After the time you're counting down to has passed, the script will do a "reverse countdown" to show how long ago the event was.

Here's the format...

[countdown]<day>-<month>-<year> <hour (0-23)>:<minute>:<second>[/countdown]

Example: [countdown]15-10-2003 12:00:00[/countdown] = 7501 days, 12 hours, 25 minutes ago

Example of past event: [countdown]10-10-2003 12:30:02[/countdown] = 7506 days, 11 hours, 54 minutes, 58 seconds ago

To work correctly, the time/date must be in GMT, and not your own time zone. You can count down to any time/date within the next 1 year.
