Well, I'm making a game, and in my game I have a countdown script in javascript that receives the date when the building upgrade is over, and makes a countdown, and when the countdown ends, executes a script that upgrades the building to the next level.
But just works in google chrome, and in the other browsers appears like that:
Firefox:
Google Chrome
Just the Javascript:
date_default_timezone_set('europe/lisbon');
$datephp = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
echo'
<script type="text/javascript">
function cdtd() {
var xmas = new Date("' . $factory_date . '");
var now = new Date();
var timeDiff = xmas.getTime() - now.getTime();
if (timeDiff <= 0) {
clearTimeout(timer);
$("#factory_upgrade").load("/include/factory_upgraded.php");
$("#quantidade_fabricas").load("/include/factory_stats.php");
}
var seconds = Math.floor(timeDiff / 1000);
var minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60);
var hours = Math.floor(minutes / 60);
var days = Math.floor(hours / 24);
hours %= 24;
minutes %= 60;
seconds %= 60;' .
"var tempo=('0' + hours).slice(-2)+':'+('0' + minutes).slice(-2)+':'+('0' + seconds).slice(-2);"
.
'
document.getElementById("secsBox").innerHTML = tempo;
var timer = setTimeout("cdtd()",1000);
}
</script>
';
Complete function:
function factory_update($get){
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
$query00 = "SELECT * FROM factory_upgrading WHERE userid = '$userid'";
$result00 = mysql_query($query00) or die(mysql_error());
while($row00 = mysql_fetch_array($result00)){
$factory_upgrade = $row00['userid'];
}

$factory_level = $row01['new_level'];
$factory_date = $row01['upgraded'];
}
if ($get == "load")
{

$("#factory_upgrade").load("/include/factory_update.php");
$("#load").load("/include/cabecalho_content.php");
$("#industrial").fadeIn();
$(loader1).delay(1000).hide(0);
}, 100);
});
</script>
';
}
}
The format of $factory_date is invalid according to standard JavaScript and Chrome happens to be able to parse it.
For better results, stick to these Date constructors:
new Date();
new Date(value);
new Date(dateString);
new Date(year, month [, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond]);

I made this countdown timer to show a video after it reaches the end. However it just goes into negative numbers. Seems to be related to the part of the code to hide the content after expiry date. Here is a JS fiddle
<div id="countdown"></div>
<div id="playsession"></div>
<script>
var releaseDate = new Date('05/29/2021 9:00 UTC+1');
var expiryDate = new Date('10/11/2021 01:00AM UTC+1');
var cdNotice = 'This session will appear automatically when the countdown finishes';
var trDay = ' Days';
var trHours = ' Hours';
var trMin = ' Minutes';
var trSec = ' Seconds';
var media = "<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height:100%;left:0;position:absolute;top:0;width:100%;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/embed\/iframe\/eiwj630vxa?videoFoam=true\" title=\"June 19 & 20 ~ Refresh & Revive ~ Gen Rabten ~ 1 Video\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wistia_embed\" name=\"wistia_embed\" allowfullscreen msallowfullscreen width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.net\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async><\/script>";
</script>
Above I set the start time and expiry time.
If the person loads the page before the countdown ends it should show the countdown. If the person loads after the countdown it will show the video.
If the person loads the page after the expiry time it should show the expired message.
Timer
var _second = 1000;
var _minute = _second * 60;
var _hour = _minute * 60;
var _day = _hour * 24;
var timer;
function showRemaining() {
var now = new Date();
var distance = releaseDate - now;
var gone = expiryDate - now;
if (distance < 0 && gone > 0) {
clearInterval(timer);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = "";
document.getElementById('playsession').innerHTML = media;
return;
}
if (gone < 0) {
clearInterval(timer);
document.getElementById('playsession').innerHTML = '<p>This video has now expired</p>';
return;
}
var days = Math.floor(distance / _day);
var hours = Math.floor((distance % _day) / _hour);
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % _hour) / _minute);
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % _minute) / _second);
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = '<p>' + cdNotice + '</p>';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '<p>';
if (days > 0) {
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '<b>' + days + trDay + '</b> ';
}
if (hours > 0) {
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '<b>' + hours + trHours + '</b> ';
}
if (minutes > 0) {
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '<b>' + minutes + trMin + '</b> ';
}
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '<b>' + seconds + trSec +'</b>';
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML += '</p>';
}
timer = setInterval(showRemaining, 1000);
Your expire date is incorrect, add space before AM, then it will work, otherwise your condition is not met, because gone = NaN.
With this it works correctly:
var expiryDate = new Date('10/11/2021 01:00 AM UTC+1')
I have 2 coupons showing, they both have the .new-coupon when in fact one should say .new-coupon and one should say .old-coupon. It seems to apply the same class for every element on the page with that class instead of calculating which class it should be for each element.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
// Set the date we're counting down to
var deadlineYear = $("#clockdiv .year").attr("rel");
var deadlineMonth = $("#clockdiv .month").attr("rel");
var deadlineDay = $("#clockdiv .days").attr("rel");
var deadlineHour = $("#clockdiv .hours").attr("rel");
var deadlineMinute = $("#clockdiv .minutes").attr("rel");
var deadlineSecond = $("#clockdiv .seconds").attr("rel");
var couponExpired = $("#clockdiv").attr("rel");
var countDownDate = new Date(deadlineYear + "/" + deadlineMonth + "/" + deadlineDay + " " + deadlineHour + ":" + deadlineMinute + ":" + deadlineSecond).getTime();
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function() {
// Get todays date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
// Output the result in an element with id="demo"
document.getElementById("days").innerHTML = days;
document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML = hours;
document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML = minutes;
document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML= seconds;
// If the count down is over, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("clockdiv").innerHTML = "<p>" + couponExpired + "</p>";
}
var startDate = $("#clockdiv .start").attr("rel"); //2018/09/28 17:00:00
var startDateNew = new Date(startDate);
var newOldDate = new Date(startDateNew.setDate(startDateNew.getDate() + 7));
var nowDateNew = new Date(now);
if (days <= 7) {
$('.couponDiv').addClass("old-coupon");
} else if ((nowDateNew.getTime() - newOldDate.getTime()) < 0) {
$('.couponDiv').addClass("new-coupon");
}
}, 1000);
});

<p class="couponDate"><?php echo $humanDate;?></p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</li>
Edit
I understand completely where the issue lies, and have updated the code to the following:
$('.couponDiv').each(function() {
var startDate = $("#clockdiv .start").attr("rel"); //2018/09/28 17:00:00
var startDateNew = new Date(startDate);
var newOldDate = new Date(startDateNew.setDate(startDateNew.getDate() + 7));
var nowDateNew = new Date(now);
if (days <= 7) {
$(this).addClass("old-coupon");
} else if ((nowDateNew.getTime() - newOldDate.getTime()) < 0) {
$(this).addClass("new-coupon");
}
});
However, I do not know how to make:
var startDate = $("#clockdiv .start").attr("rel");
Apply to $this so its $this #clockdiv .start because then it will work I believe...
Edit
I have altered a line of code to read:
var startDate = $(this).find("#clockdiv .start").attr("rel");
This now only adds the class to the first offer and not the 2nd offer, I then tried repeating the:
$(this).find()
Around the initial variables and then moved the:
$('.couponDiv').each(function() {
To the top below the document ready function however, this stopped any class being added.
if (days <= 7) {
$('.couponDiv').addClass("old-coupon");
} else if ((nowDateNew.getTime() - newOldDate.getTime()) < 0) {
$('.couponDiv').addClass("new-coupon");
}
In your codes above, you had selected all of .couponDiv to add class old-coupon and once again you select all of .couponDiv to add class new-coupon. The conditions have no meaning here because with any matching you still add class for all elements.
You must separate which elements are belong to "old" and with elements are belong to "new". Then add the respectively class name.
Is this what you need?
var startDate = $(this).find("#clockdiv .start").attr("rel"); //2018/09/28 17:00:00
After some reconstructing and work with $this I was able to get this working:
$('.couponWrap .coupons li').each(function() {
// Set the date we're counting down to
var deadlineYear = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .year").attr("rel");
var deadlineMonth = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .month").attr("rel");
var deadlineDay = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .days").attr("rel");
var deadlineHour = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .hours").attr("rel");
var deadlineMinute = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .minutes").attr("rel");
var deadlineSecond = $(this).find("div .clockdiv .seconds").attr("rel");
var couponExpired = $(this).find("div .clockdiv").attr("rel");
var countDownDate = new Date(deadlineYear + "/" + deadlineMonth + "/" + deadlineDay + " " + deadlineHour + ":" + deadlineMinute + ":" + deadlineSecond).getTime();
var startDate = new Date($(this).find("div .clockdiv .start").attr("rel"));
var self = $(this);
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function() {
// Get todays date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - now;
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
// Output the result in an element with id="demo"
document.getElementById("days").innerHTML = days;
document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML = hours;
document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML = minutes;
document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML= seconds;
// If the count down is over, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("clockdiv").innerHTML = "<p>" + couponExpired + "</p>";
}
//Works but only for 1st start date
//var testDate = $("div .clockdiv .start").attr("rel"); //2018/09/28 17:00:00
var startDateNew = new Date(startDate);
var startDateNewer = new Date(startDate);
var newOldDate = new Date(startDateNewer.setDate(startDateNew.getDate() + 7));
//alert(startDate + ", " + startDateNew + ", " + startDateNewer + ", " + newOldDate);
//This works fine
var nowDateNew = new Date().getTime();
//alert(nowDateNew - newOldDate.getTime());
if (days <= 7) {
self.find('div.couponDiv').addClass("old-coupon");
} else if ((nowDateNew - newOldDate.getTime()) < 0) {
self.find('div.couponDiv').addClass("new-coupon");
}
}, 1000);
});
I want a custom time algorithm like javascript. I was able to achieve this using php but am not able to do the same with javascript!
WHat i had in php was like.....
PHP FIDDLE(i want something like this in js output)
function getTime($mytime){
// $mytime is a datetime sql database format time
$thetime = strtotime($mytime);
$q = new DateTime($mytime);
$current_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',time());
$w = new DateTime($current_time);
$result = $w ->diff($q);
$string = "";
$year = $result->y;
$month = $result->m;
$day = $result->d;
$hour = $result->h;
$min = $result->i;
$sec = $result->s;
if($year==0){
if($month==0){
if($day==0){
if($hour==0){
if($min==0){
if($sec <30){
$string .= "Just now";}else if($sec<60){ $string .= "A few seconds ago";}
}else{
if($min<5){$string .="A few minutes ago";}else if($min>=5){$string .=$min . ' minutes ago'; }
}}else{
if($hour<6){$string .=$hour . ' hours ago';}else if($hour>=6){
$chour = (date('H',$thetime));
if( ($chour>=5)&&($chour<=17) ){$string .= 'Today at ' .date('h.m a',$thetime);}else{$string .= 'Tonight at '. date('h.m a',$thetime);}}
}}else{
if($day==1){$string .= "Yesterday at " . date('h:m a',$thetime);}else if(($day>1) && ($day<=7)){$string .= $day . " days ago";}else if($day>7){$string .= date('M, d',$thetime) . ' at '. date('h:i a',$thetime);}
}}else{
if($month<5){$string .=$month . ' months ago'; }else if($month>=5){$string .= date('M,d',$thetime) .' at ' . date('h.i a',$thetime) ;}
}}else{
$string .=date('dS M , Y',$thetime) .' at '. date('h.i a',$thetime);
}
return $string;
}
What i thought was to dynamically update time using javascript! so i did this......
$(function(){
var $second = 1000;
var $minute = $second * 60;
var $hour = $minute * 60;
var $day = $hour * 24;
setInterval(function(){
$('.comment').each(function(){
var $this = $(this);
var $time = new Date($this.attr('datetime'));
var $now = new Date();
var $distance = $now - $time;
var $days = Math.floor($distance / $day);
var $hours = Math.floor(($distance % $day) / $hour);
var $minutes = Math.floor(($distance % $hour) / $minute);
var $seconds = Math.floor(($distance % $minute) / $second);
var $time_string = '';
if($days > 0) {
$time_string = $time_string + $days + ' Day(s) ';
}
if($hours > 0) {
$time_string = $time_string + $hours + ' Hour(s) ';
}
if($minutes > 0) {
$time_string = $time_string + $minutes + ' Minute(s) ';
}
if($seconds > 0) {
$time_string = $time_string + $seconds + ' Second(s)';
}
$this.text($time_string);
});
}, 1000);
});
but his outputs something like this fiddle here.
What i wanted is like my prev. php output i.e X min ago or X seconds ago or 12 May 2014 etc how do i implement my above php code with this js ?
I have this code for a countdown timer. its basically a combination of PHP/Javascript countdown timer which will gets the $end_date from a Mysql table/field.
The problem is that it will stop automatically (which is unwanted) at a certain time.
For example: I set the $end_date to September 19 2013 11:30:00 AM GMT in mysql database.
the countdown starts and works fine and starts counting down as it should. However, when the countdown timer reaches September 19 2013 13:00:00 PM GMT it will stop and it will show the Times Up message! Basically it will stop working or counting down once the $end_date has been changed to 13:00:00 PM.
I cannot see anything in my code that will cause this issue. apart from this line:
if ($now < $exp_date ) {
?>
but again, this line only tells the script when to start counting and as far i can see it shouldn't stop the countdown timer to stop as long as the timer has not reached the $end_date. or am I missing something?
here is my code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
?>
<?php date_default_timezone_set('GMT'); ?>
<?php
session_start();
// Run a select query to get my letest 6 items
// Connect to the MySQL database
include "config/connect.php";
$dynamicList = "";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM item ORDER BY id";
$query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql);
$productCount = mysqli_num_rows($query); // count the output amount
if ($productCount > 0) {
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query, MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
$id = $row["id"];
$product_name = $row["product_name"];
$date_added = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($row["date_added"]));
$end_date = date("F d Y H:i:s A T", strtotime($row["end_date"]));
$price = $row["price"];
$dynamicList .= '<div>' . $end_date . '
</div>';
}
} else {
$dynamicList = "No Records";
}
?>
<?php
$date = $end_date;
$exp_date = strtotime($date);
$now = time();
if ($now < $exp_date ) {
?>
<script>
// Count down milliseconds = server_end - server_now = client_end - client_now
var server_end = <?php echo $exp_date; ?> * 1000;
var server_now = <?php echo time(); ?> * 1000;
var client_now = new Date().getTime();
var end = server_end - server_now + client_now; // this is the real end time
var _second = 1000;
var _minute = _second * 60;
var _hour = _minute * 60;
var _day = _hour *24
var timer;
function showRemaining()
{
var now = new Date();
var distance = end - now;
if (distance < 0 ) {
clearInterval( timer );
document.getElementById('countdown').innerHTML = 'EXPIRED!';
return;
}
var days = Math.floor(distance / _day);
var hours = Math.floor( (distance % _day ) / _hour );
var minutes = Math.floor( (distance % _hour) / _minute );
var seconds = Math.floor( (distance % _minute) / _second );
var countdown = document.getElementById('countdown');
countdown.innerHTML = '';
if (days) {
countdown.innerHTML += 'Days: ' + days + '<br />';
}
countdown.innerHTML += 'Hours: ' + hours+ '<br />';
countdown.innerHTML += 'Minutes: ' + minutes+ '<br />';

}

</script>
<?php
} else {

}
?>
<div id="countdown"></div>
any help would be greatly appreciated.
13:00:00 PM is not a valid time. AM and PM are used to indicate which side of the 12-hour cycle the time is. You cannot logically say you're on the 13th hour of the 12 hour side of the clock.
EDIT: For clarity: 13:00 == 1 PM, 13:00 PM == nothing.
I'm looking to create a dynamic javascript countdown timer, I want to pass it a datetime variable from my SQL server database and have it count down to this date then display a message, I've tried nearly every JQuery plugin I can find and Havent been able to edit them to do what I need, I also need to be able to have multiple countdown timers on the same page,
Any help would be much appriciated
Cheers
Scott
=======EDIT=======
After much Trial and Error I was able to modify this js http://andrewu.co.uk/clj/countdown/pro/
to do what I needed
try this:
function Thick(startin) {
startin--;
document.getElementById('timer').innerHTML = startin;
if(startin > 0) setTimeout('Thick(' + startin + ')', 1000);
}
call thus function in body onLoad like:
<body onLoad="Thick(20);">
hope this help :)
