mediabob Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi, I am working on a date system like facebook where instead of a date and time something was posted it shows like, 45 minutes ago, or 3 hours ago... that sort of thing and I have it working except for one small issue. To start off I have function post_time ($session_time) { $db_date = $row_post_list['pdate']; $calc_time = time() - $db_date; the $db_date should be date/time as pulled from the database, but it does not seem to work. if I replace the $row_post_list['pdate'] with an actual date/time like this: function post_time ($session_time) { $db_date = 1266048067; $calc_time = time() - $db_date; The whole thing works flawlessly, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. All the rest of the data on the page that comes from the db works great, it's just pulling that one thing that is throwing a wrench in.

sasa Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 variable $row_post_list is NOT setup in function you must past it via functions parameters or make it global Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192480-problem-with-db-data/#findComment-1014196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
