Question

I am currently looking at creating a script for my site that will count down to sunday of that week, every week.

Example:

The user visits the site on a saturday at 11:30am, they will be greeted with:

“The next time this page will be updated is in 0 days, 12 hours and 30 minutes.”

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use this little trick to get a timestamp for midnight next Sunday:

$sunday = strtotime('next Sunday');

See this answer for how to format it into something useful. Right now I get this:

print_r(dateDifference($sunday, time()));
Array
(
    [years] => 0
    [months_total] => 0
    [months] => 0
    [days_total] => 0
    [days] => 0
    [hours_total] => 4
    [hours] => 4
    [minutes_total] => 256
    [minutes] => 16
    [seconds_total] => 15387
    [seconds] => 27
)
