Can anyone write a countdown timer that takes seconds as an argument, and outputs
weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds (provided each isnt empty)
and write it to the page every second.
I did attepmt this myself today, but i cant find a JS equivelant for foreach($array as $k => $v) or print_r($array), if you know of one, let me know and i'll try again.

First result
I looked at the results on google, and they dont do it right. That one write to a box and doesnt include weeks, and they are based on time until x date, not x seconds = w,d,h,m,s

To use the Script, you only have to set the date you are looking forward to
in the variable "todate" (second Line after this Comment).
Possible prints are:
Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes, Seconds
The placeholder for each print has to be an HTML object like: <span>,<div>,<p> etc...
with the id="weeks" bzw. "days" bzw. "hours" bzw. "minutes" bzw. "seconds".
Also you can set the descriptions for each print by Setting the *text vars in the
lines after the date.
Have fun!

kewl i didnt knew there is a fi gooogling
soumi!
cheers :P
yes, there are loads that are just scripts that you enter a date into and they output remaining time.
I want a function, that i can pass a number of seconds into. Its also got to be capable of updating multiple timers.
I dont get it.
I have 2 (but its dynamic) timers on a page
1 week, 1 hour, 36 minutes, 56 seconds
6 days, 21 hours, 47 minutes, 54 seconds
If you refresh the page the numbers are recalculated.
Id like to pass the number of seconds remaining, when the page was created into a javascript function so that it writes the information to the page instead of PHP.
But instead of it just being static text, id like the counters to display the right time remaining (IE, update every second)
