I looked everywhere for a counter that can count the number of days faded away written in php but couldn't find one, so i decided to write my own this is the first time I deal with time and dates please correct me if am wrong.

Code:

<?
//
// James Wong 2003
//

//The day from which to start counting
$x_day2   = 19;     // Day of the countdown 
$x_month2 = 10;      // Month of the countdown 
$x_year2  = 2003;   // Year of the countdown 
$x_hour2  = 23;     // Hour of the day 

//Retrieving current date from server
$x_month = date("m");
$x_day = date("d");
$x_year = date("y");

//Subtracting current date with specified date
$x_result = $x_day - $x_day2; //calculate days
$x_resultm = $x_month - $x_month2; //calculate months

//Just a text that will appear with the results
$x_prefix = "Community has ";

//If day is 0 then community must be new! I suspect a fail here...
if($x_result == 0)
$x_l_day = "This is a brand new site! Up for <b>0</b> days only!";
elseif ($x_result < 2) //Plural and singular, days and day function
$x_l_day = $x_prefix . "<b>" . $x_result . "</b> day old";
elseif ($x_result > 1)
$x_l_day = $x_prefix . "<b>" . $x_result . "</b> days";

if($x_resultm > 1)
$x_l_month = $x_resultm . " and months old";
else
$x_l_month = "";

//the final result
$x_total = $x_l_day . $x_l_month;

//Echo!!
echo $x_total;

//
// END TIMER
//
?>

@PROS: Anything wrong with the script?

[YourPHPPro]

Test this script with the following:

Code:

//Retrieving current date from server
$x_month = 1;           
$x_day = 10;           
$x_year = 2004;

It should yield something like 52 days old. Instead it yields -9.

Once this takes into account the year, it should be good to go.
