Jim,
The date method takes in a timestamp (not seconds away).
You have the seconds, you will need to manually convert those seconds to
what you desire (minutes = seconds / 60), (hours = minutes / 60), etc..

You should use gmdate() if you want to how many hours left to expire
$time_left = gmdate("H:i:s",$diff);

I always hate dealing with date/time stuff in php - never get it
even close until an hour or two goes by....
anyway
I have this:
// get two timestamp values
$exp_time = $_COOKIE[$applid."expire"];
$curr_time = time();
// get the difference
$diff = $exp_time - $curr_time;
// produce a display time of the diff
$time_left = date("h:i:s",$diff);
Currently the results are:
exp_time is 06:55:07
curr_time is 06:12:03
the diff is 2584
All of these are correct.
BUT time_left is 07:43:04 when it should be only "00:43:04".
So - where is the hour value of '07' coming from?? And how do I get
this right?

Thanks for the quick response, but why do I want to show the time in
GMT? However, I did try it, changing the 'time_left' calc to use "gmdate".
Now instead of a 7 for hours I have a 12.
exp 07:34:52
curr 06:40:14
diff 3158
left is 12:52:38
The 52:38 is the correct value, but not the 12.

Doesn't work either.

Aziz, please try not to top post :)
It's true that the date() function takes in a timestamp as its argument,
but a timestamp is a number representing the number of seconds since
00:00:00 1st January 1970, so passing in a very small number of seconds
is perfectly valid.
The only thing that would account for the 7 hours difference is the time
zone, which would also be part of the timestamp.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time gives more details.
Thanks,
Ash

Thanks Ash, but the previous (top) post explained my dilemma just as you
have done here. My attempt to use a function to avoid "doing the math"
has now been resolved. Guess I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way.
