code for reverse counter to the website located in my hosting

[enzet]

Looking for timer code - how much time has elapsed since a given date. Will be nice if anybody shows such code, I think to implement it to the website located in my hosting.

I will disappoint you if expect a JavaScript code. My code is written on PHP and is a very simple. Here's how it looks:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Enter the date from which the timer will start.
$start = "October 1, 2008";
$now = strtotime ("now");
$then = strtotime ("$start");
$difference = $now - $then ;
$num = $difference/86400;
$days = intval($num);
$num2 = ($num - $days)*24;
$hours = intval($num2);
$num3 = ($num2 - $hours)*60;
$mins = intval($num3);
$num4 = ($num3 - $mins)*60;
$secs = intval($num4);
?>
<div>
<? echo $days ?> days,
<? echo $hours ?> hours,
<? echo $mins ?> minutes and
<? echo $secs ?> seconds
</div>
