Answer 1

This should seed your endeavor.

getdate(strtotime("2011-09-23 19:10:18"))

Full conversion:

$seconds = strtotime("2011-09-23 19:10:18") - time();

$days = floor($seconds / 86400);
$seconds %= 86400;

$hours = floor($seconds / 3600);
$seconds %= 3600;

$minutes = floor($seconds / 60);
$seconds %= 60;


echo "$days days and $hours hours and $minutes minutes and $seconds seconds";
