Just learning php, trying to use a php class as a C struct, but for some reason, I can’t pass the variables into the function, why is this?

Answer 1

Remove the $ sign at $return.

function countdown($month, $day, $year)
{
    return ceil( ( mktime( 0,0,0,$month,$day,$year ) - time() ) / 86400 );
}
