Question

i have managed to be able to work out the time left for my ‘auction’ style site, however i am struggling to make the time_left variable turn red when it is less than 60 minutes to go.

Here is the code below that does it, at the moment the time left is just the #333 colour and doesn’t turn into the #9f1717

$date = date('m/d/Y h:i:s', time());
$date3 = new DateTime($date);
$date4 = new DateTime($date_finished);
$interval_date = $date3->diff($date4);
//$time_left = $interval_date->d."d ". $interval_date->h."h ". $interval_date->i."m ";
$time_left = (($interval_date->d) ? $interval_date->d.'d ' : ''). (($interval_date->h) ? $interval_date->h.'h ' : ''). $interval_date->i.'m ';

$date_fini = date("d/m H:m", strtotime($date_finished));

if('m' < '59'  && ('d'=='' && 'H' =='')){
    $pro_order_colour = "#9f1717";
}
else{
    $pro_order_colour = "#333";
}

Thankyou for all and any help

Ok, after a bit of searching on google i tried the strpos() function to see whether there was a d or h in the time_left string, if there was not, it meant there was less than an hour left, so i could then change it to red. Here is the working code.

$date = date('m/d/Y h:i:s', time());
$date3 = new DateTime($date);
$date4 = new DateTime($date_finished);
$interval_date = $date3->diff($date4);
//$time_left = $interval_date->d."d ". $interval_date->h."h ". $interval_date->i."m ";
$time_left = (($interval_date->d) ? $interval_date->d.'d ' : ''). (($interval_date->h) ? $interval_date->h.'h ' : ''). $interval_date->i.'m ';

$date_fini = date("d/m H:m", strtotime($date_finished));
$pos = strpos($time_left, 'h');
$pos1 = strpos($time_left, 'd');
if ($pos !== false || $pos1 !== false) {
     $pro_order_colour = "#333";
} else {
     $pro_order_colour = "#9f1717";
}
