Oh, maybe you shouldn't use quotes on numeric values.

HTH,

it works if i create variables such as
$year = 2004;
$month = 05;
$day = 25;

but if i use these php variables
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("M");
$day = date("d")+1;
the values in the countdown timer are:-
NaN days NaN mins and NaN seconds?

even if i disregard the '+1' or put echo date('blah..') it still doesnt work?!

nehelp again?
thanks so far
ASH

but if i use these php variables
$year = date("Y");
$month = date("M");
$day = date("d")+1;
the values in the countdown timer are:-
NaN days NaN mins and NaN seconds?

NaN means "not a number".. I ran the source code you provided in a browser and it worked fine for me (Mozilla & IE 6). In fact it worked without any JS errors.

var year = '2004';
var month = '5';
var day = '25';

I wouldn't output the numbers to a string but I don't think it has any effect.

Can you post a relevant snip of your PHP code so I can see that you have the right idea? No need to post the whole thing just the relevant portions.

Regards,
Rich

<?php

      $dbc = mysql_connect('DBSTUFF') or die ('Could not connect to MySQL :' .mysql_error());
      mysql_select_db('DBNAME') or die('Could not connect to database :' .mysql_error());

      session_start();
     $year = date("Y");
     $month = date("M");
     $day = date("24");
      $itemID = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'];
      $query = "SELECT * FROM kayA_items WHERE ItemID = '$itemID'";
      $result = mysql_query($query);
      ?>
      <?
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
         {
         $image= $row[image];
      ?>

I've set variables in php using the date function and ive even tested whether the values in these variables are correct.(they produce 2004, 05 and 24)
but still get this NaN??

I have tested the variables with just numbers and not date function i.e $year = 2004 and it works fine, but i need the date to be able to be set by a user?

that help?
cheers again

Ok, the NaN doesn't have anything to do with the PHP side of things. If you're spitting out a number with PHP then its a Number, so its a JavaScript problem exclusively. You get NaN if you're trying to feed a data type that is (N)ot (a) (N)umber to a method that requires a number, such as a string.

var year = '2004';
var month = '5';
var day = '25';

setcountdown(year,month,day,00,00,01)

You're putting the numbers in strings here by using quotes, take out the quotes.

var year = 2004;
var month = 5;
var day = 25;

But like I said I ran the source file you provided and it works just fine for me in both Mozilla and IE, no NaN anywhere. Maybe your particular browser has a problem with converting strings to a numbers.

If that doesn't cure the problem, then the solution here is to use JavaScript debugging techniques, if you know PHP is printing out numbers, then follow the value of year, month and day on the JS side of things to determine where things are going awry. Output the values using alert() or document.write().

Out of curiosity, where are you getting: date('24') ?? ... 24 isn't a valid format option for the date function... it'll just pass through the 24 value but you don't need the date function there.

Rich

ive got it working, dont know how but it works!
haha!

neways the only part i need to do now is test whether it has ended ie the timer has finished? so i can stop all bids on a particular item.

the idea im thinkin would be to set a field in my sql database called 'active' then if the timer is stopped set the value to 'no' which in turn will disable the bidding and produce a 'winning bidder' screen.

how would i check the timer is stoped?
cheers for all the help you seem to give me

Hi,
I have a similar problem but it is in php alone, no js involved. I am using the following code that extracts 2 timestamps from the database and displays them:
Auction Started: <?php echo $data['timestarted']; ?>
Auction Ends: <?php echo $data['timeend']; ?>
so it echos out:

Auction Started: 20040915155920
Auction Ends: 20040918155920

but I cannot find a suitable way to show there is:
eg. 2 days 3 hours 22 minutes and 14 seconds left, can you help as I also then need to display "auction expired" when:

date() > $data['timeend']

thanks
Sami
