Hope this helps to solve your countdown problems.

PHP Code:

/*
* calculates a countdown to a given date
*
* @package    vBulletin
* @author    Dominik Hahn, MrNase
* @param    unixtime
* @return    array
*/
function auctionCountdown($time) {
        $difference = $time-time();
        $days = floor($difference/86400);     # days
        $rest = $difference-($days*86400);
        $hours = floor($rest/3600);          # hours
        $rest = $rest-($hours*3600);
        $minutes = floor($rest/60);             # minutes
        $rest = $rest-($minutes*60);         # seconds
    return array($days, $hours, $minutes, $rest);
}

# EXAMPLE:
$time = auctionCountdown(mktime(0,0,0, 1, 1, 2007));
echo $time['0']. 'days';
echo $time['1']. 'hours';
echo $time['2']. 'minutes';
echo $time['3']. 'seconds';

This is an AWESOME Idea!!

I would like to request that there is two options.

One for actual dollar amounts, and one for fictional funds.

For example there are many online games that have unique or hard to find items that are sometimes auctioned on forums for ingame items. Having something like this to be able to use on the forums is an amazing possibility!

This will be perfect for our community, I hope this hack when finished gets continued support.

I have an admincp and a fixed day count at home.... since noone has found any bugs so far i guess it will be able to be used on whatever board you want.
I will release an update when I get home
