I have inherited a site from an experienced programmer (myself a super
newbie)and now have to try and understand what he was doing plus make
changes! I know that the intention is to get the date from a database
that has the date set as a regular date 'Y-M-D' and change it to an
array so that a countdown can be performed, my question is how do I
then take the actual date from the data base and convert it into the
array. For now he had simply put an actual date to test if the
countdown was working (it is) with this (line$deliveryDate =
array('M'=>5, 'D'=>25, 'Y'=>2006);)
Any help would be much appreciated!

define('My_TIME_LIMIT', 75)

$secondsLeft -= (time() - mktime (23, 0, 0, $deliveryDate['M'],
$deliveryDate['D'], $deliveryDate['Y']));
