[Resolved] Countdown using a custom field

I use to be able to do a countdown using an end-date store in a custom field, however since 4.0.4 it seems that this is not possible anymore as the txp tag in the php code doesn’t seem to resolve properly anymore.
Any idea of what I could do, or what I do wrong.

<txp:custom_field name="end_date" />
<txp:php>
$fin = strtotime('<txp:custom_field name="end_date" />');//$fin is end-date

//format année/mois/jour (year/month/day)
$hui = time ();//$hui is today
if ($fin >= $hui)
{
    $difference = ($fin-$hui);
    $jours = (int) ($difference/86400);//days
    $heures = (int) (($difference - ($jours*86400))/3600);//hours
    $minutes = (int) (($difference - ($jours*86400) - ($heures*3600))/60);//minutes
}
echo "<span class=\"invisible\">Fin de la vente : </span>\n";
printf(" %02d ",$jours);
echo "<span class=\"invisible\">jours(s) </span>\n";
printf(" %02d ", $heures);
echo "<span class=\"invisible\">heures(s) </span>\n";
printf(" %02d ", $minutes);
echo "<span class=\"invisible\">minutes(s)</span>";
</txp:php>

Re: [Resolved] Countdown using a custom field

If it worked before, it was because of a fluke (it shouldn’t have worked).

<txp:custom_field name="end_date" />

<txp:php>
//$fin is end-date
//format année/mois/jour (year/month/day)
$fin = strtotime(custom_field(array('name' => 'end_date')));

//$hui is today
$hui = time();

if ($fin > $hui)
{
	$diff = ($fin - $hui);

	// days
	$jours = (int) ( $diff / 86400 );

	// hours
	$heures = (int) ( ($diff - ($jours * 86400)) / 3600 );

	// minutes
	$minutes = (int) ( ($diff - ($jours * 86400) - ($heures * 3600)) / 60 );


	echo '<span class="invisible">Fin de la vente:</span> '.
		$jours.' <span class="invisible">jours(s)</span> '.
		$heures.' <span class="invisible">heures(s)</span> '.
		$minutes.' <span class="invisible">minutes(s)</span>';
}
</txp:php>

Thanks Mary.
What’s the easiest way to dig for those nice functions?
