How to convert date-time difference into countdown?

Question

Using this I can get the date and time difference.

$first_date = new DateTime(“2012-11-30 17:03:30”);
$second_date = new DateTime(“2012-12-21 00:00:00”);

$difference = $first_date->diff($second_date);

echo format_interval($difference);

How can i convert it from static to run as count-down timer?

then why you are counting difference of static date, make one current time.I did it something like you can see on you post and comment "2 mins ago", but it is a whole class. — Prafulla Kumar Sahu, Oct 20 '15 at 07:10
Is this PHP code run on the command line or inside a web environment ? — Marged, Oct 20 '15 at 07:11
