bbcode?

reisyboy suggested this, and I kinda felt like coding it, so here it is. Might be fun. :p

This BBCode lets you place a count-down in your posts or signature. The time remaining will be displayed in days, hours, minutes, and seconds as necessary. This time will change every time your post/sig is loaded. After the time you're counting down to has passed, the script will do a "reverse countdown" to show how long ago the event was.

Here's the format...

[countdown]<day>-<month>-<year> <hour (0-23)>:<minute>:<second>[/countdown]

Example: [countdown]15-10-2003 12:00:00[/countdown] = 2352 days, 10 hours, 14 minutes, 25 seconds ago

Example of past event: [countdown]10-10-2003 12:30:02[/countdown] = 2357 days, 9 hours, 44 minutes, 23 seconds ago
