Question

US Presidential elections are held every four years. Assume a year has 365 days. Today is the 51st day of 2018. Election day is November 3rd, 2020 -- that is the 307th day of 2020. Write me the PHP for a loop that will print out the number of days every day until the next Presidential election (980, 979, ...).

Answer 1

I understood that you want how many days left from today to the US election will be held on November 3rd, 2020. So every day when you run the PHP program it will show the number of days left. I do the program that way but if you want any other output please mention it.

PHP Code

<?php
$elec_date = strtotime("2020-11-03");
$cur = time();
$days_left = $elec_date - $cur;
$days = floor($days_left/(60*60*24));
echo "The days Remaining for election <b>$days</b>";
?>

60*60*24 I use this to convert it into seconds.

Output

Clocalhost/HomeworkLib/date.php The days Remaining for election 985
