Help with timer for website
Oct 17th, 2009, 6:36pm  
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to make a timer for a friends website which updates in real time (in relation to the computer's clock) the years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds passed since the moon landing of July 20, 1969 (assuming the landing was at the start of that day). I've seen a few examples of timers that start from zero but none that start years before...

I'm pretty stuck right now so I would really appreciate any help/advice anyone can offer!

Thanks
J

Helpful sections in reference are going to be "Time & Date" and "Relational Operators"...

you can use the unix timestamp to calculate the difference between the date of the moonlanding and the actual time. and then convert these in days, hours, minutes, seconds,

moon landing was on (00:00:00 clock)

The timestamp -14230800 corresponds to
1969/07/20 12:00:00 am PDT.
