Great block. I run a family site that has several family wide events every year. This will work perfectly for me.

I modified a few things in the Countdown block: Fixed an error that had it running 1 day off. Fixed the grammar issue when there is 1 day left. Added a greeting for the day of the event function phpblock_countdown(){ // Change the Dates and Event Name to meet your needs $day = 6; // Day of the countdown $month = 3; // Month of the countdown $year = 2003; // Year of the countdown $event = 'Your Event'; // Event Name $days_left = (int)(1+(mktime (0,0,0,$month,$day,$year) - time(void))/86400); if ($days_left > 1) { $retval = ('There are ' .$days_left .' days left til ' .$event .'!'); } if ($days_left == 1) { $retval = ($event .' Starts Tomorrow!'); } if ($days_left == 0) { $retval = ($event .' Starts Today!'); } return $retval; }

It also turns off the block day after the event.

nice mod ...thank you ---We never stop looking... ...for a better way

I am a PHP moron and do not know any PHP at all. I just looked at some of the other plugins and played around until I got it to work right. If anybody has improvements or changes, feel free.
