Add New Block - Content type php script HELP

I've been trying to add a new block with the following php script. I drop this code in the content block and set the content type to php script. All I get is the block name in the preview. The block does not show on the site at all! Any ideas?
<?
//-----------------------------------------------------
//------COUNT DOWN TIMER-------------------------------
//-----------------------------------------------------


// enter start date below like this: "January 2, 2001"
$end = "May 6, 2007";
// enter string of what this start date is.
$text = "until the conference!";
$textOnTheDay = "G'07 begins today!!!";
$textAfterwards = "Check out the procedings.";

//--------------------------
$now = strtotime ("now");
$then = strtotime ("$end");
$difference = $then - $now;
$num = $difference/86400;
$days = intval($num);
$num2 = ($num - $days)*24;
$hours = intval($num2);
$num3 = ($num2 - $hours)*60;
$mins = intval($num3);
$num4 = ($num3 - $mins)*60;
$secs = intval($num4);

if ($days>0 || $hours>0 || $minutes>0 || $seconds>0) {
?>
<p>
<? echo $days ?> days, 
<? echo $hours ?> hours, 
<? echo $mins ?> minutes, 
<? echo $secs ?> seconds 
<? echo $text ?>
</p>
<? } else if (($days==0) && ($hours<=0 || $minutes<=0 || $seconds<=0)) { ?>
<p><? echo $textOnTheDay ?><p>
<? } else { ?>
<p> <? echo $textAfterwards ?></p>
<? } ?>

Not entirely sure, but if you select PHP script, I think it has to be pure PHP without HTML in it. You have, in effect, seperate PHP code intertwined with HTML. So I expect that the PHP is being parsed but not displayed because it's ignoring the HTML.

Try 'Autoformat' instead of 'PHP Script' and see if that helps?

On my homepage, I have a PHP script as follows that has no PHP declarations (<?) or HTML tags, but it is set as a PHP script and so is treated as such by XOOPS without the declarations, and it works fine :

$db =& Database::getInstance();
list( $countA ) = $db->fetchRow( $db->query( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$db->prefix("myalbum_photos")." WHERE status>0" ) ) ;

echo 'The total number of lost dog reports on this site is currently ' . $countA;

I modified your code but I didn't try if it works. Try to put this code into the block:

$end = "May 6, 2007";
$text = "until the conference!";
$textOnTheDay = "G'07 begins today!!!";
$textAfterwards = "Check out the procedings.";

$now = strtotime ("now");
$then = strtotime ("$end");
$difference = $then - $now;
$num = $difference/86400;
$days = intval($num);
$num2 = ($num - $days)*24;
$hours = intval($num2);
$num3 = ($num2 - $hours)*60;
$mins = intval($num3);
$num4 = ($num3 - $mins)*60;
$secs = intval($num4);

if ($days>0 || $hours>0 || $minutes>0 || $seconds>0) 
{
  print '<p>';
  print "$days days, <br />"; 
  print "$hours hours, <br />"; 
  print "$mins minutes, <br />"; 
  print "$secs seconds, <br />";
  print "$text";
  print '</p>';
} 
else if (($days==0) && ($hours<=0 || $minutes<=0 || $seconds<=0)) 
{
  print "<p>$textOnTheDay<p>";
} 
else 
{
  print "<p>$textAfterwards</p>";
}
