I cant think of any good tutorials, best if people would request something and I explain an outline of it, but anyways heres a countdown script. I use it for my Windows XP Reinstallation.

[PHP]
<?php
function countdown($month, $day, $year)
{
header ("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @ImageCreate (350, 19);
$background_color = ImageColorAllocate ($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$grey = ImageColorAllocate($im, 144, 144, 144);

/* Borders */
imageline($im, 0, 0, 0, 18, $text_color); // Left Line
imageline($im, 0, 0, 349, 0, $text_color); // Top Line
imageline($im, 349, 1, 349, 18, $text_color); // Right Line
imageline($im, 0, 18, 349, 18, $text_color); // Bottom Line

/* Timer */
$target = mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);
$today = time();
$difference = ($target-$today);
$hours =(int) ($difference/3600);

imagestring($im, 2, 10, 3, "Re-Installing XP in ".$hours." hours.", $text_color);

imagestring($im, 2, 260, 3, "Your Text", $text_color);

ImagePng($im);
}

// Usage countdown(month, day, year)
countdown(9, 9, 2006);
?>
[/PHP]

Out come is in hours, I can make it more in depth but not enough room on sigbar.
Want something, make a request, you will be delighted. :hiding:

Need a little clarification on this...

Do we have to save it in a certain program or just place it into our sig?

You have to copy and paste it on to a text base editor "notepad.exe." then save it as "coutdown.php" and set it on a php server. I will create a tutorial on setting up your very own server off your computer.
