[pmwiki-users] How to: calculate how many days left

[Randy]

Actually, the utime function does not correctly return the number of  
seconds from the unix epoch.

At 7:30 p.m. I tried this:

{(sub (utime now) (utime {MyPage$LastModified}) )}

It evaluated to over 20 hours, even though I had modified MyPage  
within the previous minute or two.

I suspect utime loses precision when it calls the date function.

Is there a way to get the actual number of seconds?
