Hi there! I’m new here, but I need some coding help and this website is actually really fantastic! 🙂

I’m looking for a code (I’m not quite sure whether this should be done in PHP or JSCRIPT) that will count the days upwards from a certain date (the date being 12th August, 2012) but I just want it to display the number of the day. So say if it’s 7 days from the 12th, just to display the number 7.

I’d appreciate any help I could get,

Cheers,  
Dan.
