Count Days

[Cooper94]

I have it were when the user sign's up the date is also recorded in a database. How would I make it so that the system checks everyday or a script checks everyday if the userer has filled a "pirep" before 14 days. Say the user joins the 10th and he didnt press send on a form of some sort and it has been 14 days since he joined. How would I make it so it would email that person if he did press send on that form?*NOTE* I know I have been asking many questions over the course of the month and cant give anything back to the community. I am still new at this and I thank you so much!

You would want to use a CRON job for this and check a date/timestamp that you put in the database the day they registered and if it has been 14 days send an email.

There are several ways to do this.  You can subtract the timestamps and divide by the seconds in a day.

 

<?php
$diff = strtotime('2008-09-23') - time();

$days = $diff / (60 * 60 * 24);
?>

Ok I have this

$currenttime = time(); 
$newtime = $signup_date; 

$timedifference = $newtime - $currenttime; 

$temptime = floor($timedifference/86400); 

But this just gives me -14245. I am trying to make it subtract the signup_date to the current date of today. I think this is correct any help would be great!

If $newtime is directly from a database, you'll need to use the strtotime() function on it.
