Hmm... well, using date("w") will tell you what day of the week it is, and
you know that 0=sunday and 2=tuesday.

use that and some logic to compute the number of days between today and
the next tuesday.

Then figure out how many seconds have elapsed for today and
use that in conjunction with the number of days in between and the number
of seconds to get to 11pm (23*60*60).

Then substract the two... and pass that to date in the format you want.

Or something like that :)
