echo "Days: ". $days. " Hours: " . $hours . " Minutes: " . $mins;

From http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php :

"Strings may be concatenated using the '.' (dot) operator. Note that the '+'
(addition) operator will not work for this. Please see String operators for
more information."
