birthday reminder

[shibobo12]

Hi

I would like to set up a php birthday reminder so that if users bdays are within the 7 days, it should display that the folllowing people celebrate their bday next week so far i have got to this stage, does any one have a better idea?

if(!empty($_POST)){

 

function birthday ($birthday){

 

list($year,$month,$day) = explode("-",$birthday);

$year_diff = date("Y") - $year;

$month_diff = date("m") - $month;

$day_diff = date("d") - $day;

 

if ($day_diff < 0 || $month_diff < 0)

$year_diff--;

return $year_diff;

 

}

Any ideas will be wolcomed on how I can complete the rest of this code! all I would like is to see which friends or users have their bday in the next 7 days and their age if possible!!

hai

 

the way you are doing may be not suitable for example if the DOB date is 01st of comming month  and if today date is 31 st then direct difference will be 30 , similar problems wil come so

 

use some calender functions or date/time available in php

please refer

<?php

$time = mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 25, Date('y')) - time();

 

    echo  $days = floor($time/(60*60*24));

 

?>

 

this will give you the number of days sure

example DOB this year

12-25-2009

then

 

12 - month

25 - date

Date('y') - current year
