I don't mean to put you down, but I explained already good reasons why not to put quotemarks around integers, not just for optimisation, but also for clarity. You need to learn from things like this. Doing so will make you a better scripter.

The main reason that I moved the thread out of the code gallery is because I feel that is not a good solution; you are dealing with four variables for a single timestamp, which I don't think is elegant, and not seemingly handling what happens when you start going into negative days. Maybe that introduces potential race conditions later on.

You can make this much more reliable by using a single variable - the number of seconds - and printing the output format using some time formatting functions.
