Hi,
I have created a little Christmas countdown on the site using PHP and mySQL.
The database controls the images displayed. But to make it simplier as I know
the problem does not reflect my db setup or talking to the db I've re-wrote the
code into a JavaScript code. So it's easier to read.
The problem is the days to Christmas and images displayed display absolutely
fine. But when there is 0 days to Christmas the NEW YEAR image does not
display. :( But the countdown ones do.
Here is the code: *I have commented areas with //*
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function placeimg() {
var currentDate = new Date();
// December is month 11
var endDate = new Date(2005, 11, 25, 23, 59, 59);
var days = (endDate-currentDate)/1000/60/60/24;
var daysRound = Math.floor(days);
// Check when to put Sleeps and when to put sleep
if (daysRound == 1) {
var sleeps = "Sleep";
} else {
var sleeps = "Sleeps";
}
if (daysRound<=0) {
var alttag = "Merry Christmas!"
document.write("<a target=\"_top\"
href=\"/\"?PHPSESSID=c8b567b9f7640ce57720265db80b4f16gqkchtfzjqddmqgbzkepmohogd081925><img
border=\"0\" src=\"/christmas05/"+daysRound+"_days.gif\" alt=\""+alttag+"\"
height=\"/50\" width=\"/125\"></a>");
} else {
var alttag = ""+daysRound+" "+sleeps+" until Christmas"
document.write("<a target=\"_top\"
href=\"/\"?PHPSESSID=c8b567b9f7640ce57720265db80b4f16gqkchtfzjqddmqgbzkepmohogd081925><img
border=\"0\" src=\"/christmas05/"+daysRound+"_days"+".gif\" alt=\""+alttag+"\"
height=\"50\" width=\"125\"></a>");
}
}
placeimg();
//-->
</script>
You can see the code working at http://www.getpaid2reademails.com/
Ignore the PHPSESSID.
Also it currently only records time left from your personal clock on your PC.
How would I go about getting the server time instead?
But of course this would not be ideal for everyone in different countries but
I wondered an easy way to do it.
Thanks for your time.
