[TECK]

1. There is a link I posted in the first thread that will explain the diff between, is done by Eva2000 at VB.com site.
2. For seconds, use this:

$sec = floor( $sys_ticks - ( $days * 60 * 24 ) - ( $hours * 60 ) - ( $min * 60 ) );

Then:

        if ( $sec != 1 ) {
          $value .= $sec . ' seconds';
        } else {
          $value .= $sec . ' second';
        }

Just play with the "and" word...
