Here goes nothing,

I have a PHP script that is re-ran every 30 seconds using a little Ajax wizardry.

I have a $startTime and an $endTime both in the format of 'HOUR:MIN'. I also have $currentTime in the same format.

I want to be able to work out the amount of hours and minutes left and out put it as $leftTime but i havn't a clue how to go about it. Obviously i have tried simple deductions etc but maths was never my strongest subject and time with php coding is confusing me.

So for example:

$startTime = 2000; // 8pm
$endTime = 2130; // 9.30pm
$currentTime = 2015; //8.15pm
// some php magic later...
$leftTime = 0115; // 1 hour, 15 minutes left.

If someone could point me in the right direction or get me started i would be most grateful!


Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to get a few opinions from you all to see how this looks through some outsider eyes.

Basically 2 weeks ago I registered a domain name to use as the base of a quick one paged 'showcase' of work as I had some job interviews to attend the next day. I created a simple page and took screen shots of a few of the websites I have built of the companies that my current employer owns (they are an umbrella corporation).

Now I was offered a job and accepted the offer, handing my notice in at work the very next day.

Since then, my current employer (however they have done this, but I guess it wasn't hard to figure out) has found my little showcase and circulated it around all the directors. They have been a bit sh!t with me since then and have now, after a week into my 4 week notice period, asked me to remove the links back to their websites.

When I joined the company, I didn't sign anything that stopped me from using the work I did there as a portfolio and they didn't mention that as being the reason they wanted them taken off. In fact they used the excuse that three of the companies I have showcased try to stay out of each others lame light, in a nutshell, they always try to hide the fact that all three are owned by the same umbrella.

Now I don't mind taking down the links... In fact, I'm going to redirect the domain name to point to a Rick Rolling video...... just because I know from my analytics they are still viewing the site daily!! but...

Do they actually have the power to legally make me remove a simple link to their websites?? I understand them having the power to stop me from using the screen shots of the websites, but say I only had a description of what I worked on and a link to the site. Am I breaking any rules there??
