mrjonnytou Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hi, I have a php page which returns tasks from a database table along with the person assigned and their deadline. What I would like to do is change the color of the text from black to red as the deadline approaches to remind the user it needs finishing. Any suggestions of ways to achieve this are appreciated. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerRobot Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Convert the deadline to a unix timestamp and then compare with the current timestamp. Without any of your code, its a little difficult to give you any more than this: <?php $deadline = strtotime($deadline); $now = time(); if($now - $deadline < 60*60*24*5){//if less than 5 days away //colour red } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
