 * I inserted a countdown timer in a post (at the bottom) and when I viewed the 
   post I got the following (just above the post)..
    Warning: mktime() expects parameter
   4 to be long, string given in blogs/wp-content/plugins/live-countdown-timer/calculateTime.
   php on line 7
 * and no timer was displayed
 * Using php5

 * I got it to work with the following patch(es)…
 * in live-countdown-timer.php (line 20):
 *     ```
       REPLACE:
           $xDBArr = UNSERIALIZE(get_option('live_countdown_timer_Values'));
       WITH:
           $xDBArr = get_option('live_countdown_timer_Values');
       ```
   
 * AND in calculateTimer.php (line 13):
 *     ```
       REPLACE:
           $xTheDate = mktime($xFromDate[0],$xFromDate[1],$xFromDate[2],$xFromDate[3],$xFromDate[4],$xFromDate[5]);//$xFromDate
       WITH:
           $xTheDate = mktime((int) $xFromDate[0],(int) $xFromDate[1],(int) $xFromDate[2],(int) $xFromDate[3],
       			(int) $xFromDate[4],(int) $xFromDate[5]);//$xFromDate
       ```

 * Now the biggest problem is that it doers not show you the current settings for
   as post when you go to edit it which means you have to always re-enter it when
   editing a post.
