Publisher review:Countdown - Count down the time to a certain date Count down the time to a certain date.
CONFIGURATION
There are a number of variables that you can change in countdown.pl which alter the way that the program works.
@from_date - This defines the date that you are counting down to. It should be a list of six items, representing the year, month, date, hour, minute and second of the target date. For example, if you're counting down to 7th September 2002, the value would be (2002,9,7,0,0,0). If you put the value 'XX' in any of the fields then that field will not be included in the output.
$delimiter - The value that you want to put between the different parts of the output. The default is an HTML tag which puts the parts on different lines.
$date_fmt - The format that the date will be displayed in. This is a string that contains a number of different 'tags'. Each tag consists of a % character followed by a letter. Each tag represents one way of displaying a particular part of the date or time. Here are some common tags:
%Y - four digit year (2002) %y - two digit year (02) %m - month of the year (01 to 12) %b - short month name (Jan to Dec) %B - long month name (January to December) %d - day of the month (01 to 31) %a - short day name (Sun to Sat) %A - long day name (Sunday to Saturday) %H - hour in 24 hour clock (00 to 23) %I - hour in 12 hour clock (01 to 12) %p - AM or PM %M - minutes (00 to 59) %S - seconds (00 to 59)
$DEBUGGING - This should be set to 1 whilst you are installing and testing the script. Once the script is live you should change it to 0. When set to 1, errors will be output to the browser. This is a security risk and should not be used when the script is live.
$emulate_matts_code - When this variable is set to a true value (e.g. 1) countdown will work in exactly the same way as its counterpart at Matt's Script Archive. If it is set to a false value (e.g. 0) then more advanced features are switched on.
