PHP Countdown and To Do

I have a few questions. I need a countdown to 17:00 (5 PM) each day. After 17:00, i want to echo a message. Then, the timer needs to reset after 23.59. How can i do this with PHP?

My next question is about a To Do list. I have a functional ToDo list in PHP, but i want to be able to see how many tasks i have without needing to count them myself. Below is the code i have of the To Do list:

<?php
session_start();


#ADD ITEM

if(isset($_POST['newitem']) ){
$_SESSION['todo'] [] =$_POST['newitem'];

}


#REMOVE ITEM

if(isset($_POST['remove_id']) ){
    $id = $_POST['remove_id'];
unset($_SESSION['todo'][$id]);

}

?>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>

<?php


echo "<h1>To Do</h1>";


#SUBMIT

echo "
<form action='' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='newitem'>
<input type='submit'>
</form>
";


foreach($_SESSION['todo'] as $id => $item){


#REMOVE

echo "
    <form action='' method='post'>
    <input type ='hidden' name='remove_id' value='$id'>
    <input type='submit'  value='-'>
    $item
    </form>
    ";

}

Any help would be appreciated!

For your 2nd question :

You could define an index let's call it $i;

So :

$i = 0;

Then increment it everytime the foreach is executed :

foreach($_SESSION['todo'] as $id => $item){

$i++;  

echo "
    <form action='' method='post'>
    <input type ='hidden' name='remove_id' value='$id'>
    <input type='submit'  value='-'>
    $item
    </form>
    ";

}

Then echo $i; should give you your total of tasks.

Also please put one question at a time en recreate another post with what you've tried for your first question.
