How can a PHP beginner effectively calculate the time difference until 00:00?

To calculate the time difference until 00:00, you can get the current time using `time()` function, then calculate the seconds remaining until midnight (00:00) by subtracting the current time from the timestamp of the next day at 00:00. Finally, convert this time difference into hours, minutes, and seconds for a more readable output. 

$current_time = time();
$midnight_time = strtotime('tomorrow 00:00:00');
$time_difference = $midnight_time - $current_time;

$hours = floor($time_difference / 3600);
$minutes = floor(($time_difference % 3600) / 60);
$seconds = $time_difference % 60;

echo "Time remaining until 00:00: $hours hours, $minutes minutes, $seconds seconds";
