countdown using filemtime?

[Hitman3266]

I have a file that gets updated every 60 minutes.

i would like to create a countdown till the next update (next update in XX minutes), by comparing the filemtime, to the current time..


im getting confused with the logic required to do this..and if its even possible..

[Dinkar]

Next Update Time = Current File Created Time + 60 Minutes

Count Down = Next Update Time - Current Time

[Dinkar]

well, you may also try this:

Count Down = 60 - (Current Time - Current File Created Time)

how do i convert from unix time stamp to something readable?

$file = "blah.txt";
$nextup = filemtime($file) + 3600;
$count = $nextup - time() ;


im not sure how to go about this

You can use the strftime() function:
