RE: [PHP] simple date/now() question
[snip] data like: 20040928170708 20040916163619 etc Anybody have a function for this? or can help? am a bit confused because reading on google I see that there are 2 possible problems as MySql has its own time and PHP its own time (most of the time!) [/snip] http://www.php.net/date http://www.php.net/time You jsut have to accept how MySQL stores a dattime stamp, if you know how to read it you can manipulate with several time/date functions in PHP. Taking one of your stamps above... 20040916163619 2004-09-16 16:36:19 Then you can test to see if 16:36:19 if greater than or less than 24 hours ago -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] simple date/now() question
Just select out records that are NOW() - (24 * 60 * 60)or if you use datetime field instead of timestamp, which is prolly better off ofr many reasons, use DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) or something similar. you can get timestamps from datetime fields, if that is an issue for you...

Re: [PHP] simple date/now() question
Hi, Thanks for replying. Just select out records that are NOW() - (24 * 60 * 60) I just need this for 1 record, when the user logs in I want to know if he has joined more than 1 day back or not... I am looking into php.net/date and php.net/time, but if have an example for me...:-) Thanks, Ryan or if you use datetime field instead of timestamp, which is prolly better off ofr many reasons, use DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 1 DAY) or something similar. you can get timestamps from datetime fields, if that is an issue for you...
