Trying to use jQuery Countdown with UNIX timestamp from php - php

Question

As the title says I'm facing a problem displaying the right left time to an end date.
I'm using this jquery plugin: http://keith-wood.name/countdown.html
Let's assume that our timestamp is generated by a PHP script like this: $end_date = strtotime($row4['end']); // 2012-05-09 06:00:00 becomes 1336536000
I use this ($i is used inside a loop):
$('.count-<?php echo $i; ?>').countdown({until: new Date(<?php echo $end_date; ?> * 1000), layout: '{dn} days {hnn} hrs {mnn} min {snn} sec', compact: true});
Right now it's 06:21 AM here. Instead of the expected 1 day left result I get "1 days 17 hrs 04 min 21 sec".
What am I missing here?

I have been using the API for quite a while now, but I cann't seem to figure out what's up with your code. Perhaps (but just perhaps) you're using the untill property wrong.
My code that I usually use:
$(function(){
var countdown = $('#countdown'),
ts = new Date(<?php echo $date_to * 1000; ?>),
finished = true;
if((new Date()) > ts)
{
finished = false;
}
$('#cool-countdown').countdown({
timestamp : ts,
callback : function(days, hours, minutes, seconds)
{
var message = "";
message += days + " days, ";
message += hours + " hours, ";
message += minutes + " minutes, ";
message += seconds + " seconds ";
message = (finished ? "Countdown finished" : "left untill the New Year");
countdown.html(message);
}
});
});
Obviously you should extend this to feature singular.
