<? $dbtime = $getthreads3['lastrepliedto']; 
         $dbtime=$getthreads3['showtime']; $time = date("F j, Y, g:i a", $dbtime); 


// Get current timestamp
$intTime = time();
// Calculate difference
$intDiff = $intTime - $dbtime;

// Check time
switch($intDiff)
{
      case ($intDiff < 60):
                echo "<strong>Less than a minute ago</strong>";
                break;
        case ($intDiff < 3600):
                echo "<strong>Less than an hour ago</strong>";
                break;
        case ($intDiff < 7200):
                echo "<strong>One hour ago</strong>";
			break;
        case ($intDiff < 10800):
                echo "<strong>Two hours ago</strong>";
			break;
	case ($intDiff < 86400):
                echo "<strong>Today</strong>";
			break;
	case ($intDiff < 172800):
                echo "<strong>Yesterday</strong>";
                break;
        default:
               echo $time;
}
?>

 

the code works if its posted as a thread but for some reason if the thread is replied too it just shows    default:

              echo $time;... any suggestions why?

What this means is that nothing was matched by the other cases so it goes to the default: case so therefor it will

 

echo $time;

really you should group them better as well for example

 

case ($intDiff <= 7200  && $intDiff > 10800):

                echo "<strong>One hour ago</strong>";

 

this could cause some problems

I don't think switch can be used like that:

 

switch($var) {

case ($var < 1): break;
case ($var < 2): break;
default: break;

}

 

There's no such example in manual. I think this is a case (pun not intended) for if-else statement

[predator12341]

hmm yeah quite true Mchl. to be honest if i ever use a case it is for a straight statment anyway such as

 

switch($name)

{

case"tim":

break;

case "bob":

break;

}

 

i never do any sort of checking in a switch really.
