    Time Left - A function to find out how many days, hours, secs, mins that is left until the target
    I was very sad with most of the countdown scripts that I had found that was for php because they didn't support time
    for the target. So I needed one very bad and I have looked all over and didn't find one that would do what I wanted,
    so I created this one that really works. All you have to do is call the
    function time_left($target_month, $target_day, $target_year, $target_hour, $target_min, $target_sec, $target_am_pm)
    and it will return the time that it is left until the target. It supports both 12 or 24 hours format. To use the
    12 hour format, enter AM or PM in the $target_am_pm. When using the 12 hour format, you can only enter 1 - 12
    in the field. To use the 24 hour format, leave the $target_am_pm blank. When using the 24 hour format, you can only
    enter 0 - 23 in the field.

    24 Hours Format
    12AM = 0
    1AM = 1
    2AM = 2
    3AM = 3
    4AM = 4
    5AM = 5
    6AM = 6
    7AM = 7
    8AM = 8
    9AM = 9
    10AM = 10
    11AM = 11
    12PM = 12
    1PM = 13
    2PM = 14
    3PM = 15
    4PM = 16
    5PM = 17
    6PM = 18
    7PM = 19
    8PM = 20
    9PM = 21
    10PM = 22
    11PM = 23

    Error Codes
    -1 = There's no time left to the target.
    -2 = Error: Month Format Incorrect (Must be in the 1 - 12 range)
    -3 = Error: Day Format Incorrect (Must be in the 1 - 31 range)
    -4 = Error: Year Format Incorrect (Must be at least 4 chars long and it must be in the 1950 - 2050 range)
    -5 = Error: Hour Format Incorrect (If using 12 hour format, must be in the 1 - 12 rnage, if using 24 hour format,
    must be in the 0 - 23 range)
    -6 = Error: Min Format Incorrect (Must be in the 0 - 59 range)
    -7 = Error: Sec Format Incorrect (Must be in the 0 - 59 range)

    NEW! A Layered approach to delivering security-rich Web applications

    As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications to provide services to customers, employees and partners, these complex applications become more difficult to secure. Although traditional security solutions protect Internet infrastructure layers, they do not guard against HTTP and HTML attacks. Many organizations that conduct security testing still deploy applications that allow attackers to manipulate their logic and wreak havoc on their business. To mitigate this risk, development and delivery teams must address Web application security throughout the lifecycle, addressing the many layers detailed in this paper.
