"New posts"

[oz11]

I wrote this..

                    $now = strtotime('now');
                    $now = date('Y-m-d', $now);
                    $day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($row['date'] . ' + 2 weeks'));

                    if($day < $now){
                        echo "<img src='https://i.imgur.com/0rlIlUD.gif'>";
                    }
                    

It should show a "new" gif image on new posts.. however, they only show on posts that are not new. I tried flipping the "<" to ">" but doesn't work.... not sure what to do. So simple but get can't grasp the conditional .

Help Internet freaks.

What value does $row['date'] contain?

[oz11]

The date of the post, eg (a real example) of "2022-11-22"

 

update : "2022-11-22 16:03:32" not just "2022-11-22"

oops. its abit longer "2022-11-22 16:03:32" (take two)

[oz11]

Still not fixed it . You would think flipping it would work as it sorta did before, but opposite. all t he ones that shouldn't be "new" were new and all the other actual "new" posts were not showing.. weird. Never come across anything like it.

This works for me  (if I substitute a datetime value over 2 weeks old for $row['date'] )

$day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("2023-08-28 16:03:32" . ' + 2 weeks'));

if ($day < date('Y-m-d'))  {
    echo "img src='https://i.imgur.com/0rlIlUD.gif'";
}

"Works" in that it outputs this image: ...

Still shows on the reverse but not the other way round hmm. (showing on all the old ones but not the new ones)

Do I take it that a new image is one that is less than 2 weeks old?

$day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime("2023-08-30 16:03:32"));

if($day > date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-2 weeks'))){
    echo "img src='https://i.imgur.com/0rlIlUD.gif'";
}

@requinix - I see what you mean

[oz11]

Ended up doing this which worked...

 

//$day = date('Y-m-d', $row['date']);
$day = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($row['date']));

if($day < date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-2 weeks'))){
} ELSE {
        echo "<img src='ttps://i.imgur.com/0rlIlUD.gif'>";

}

abit of a workaround but ok for me. Thanks guys!

That's the same thing as Barand posted, except you flipped the condition which then forced you to use that else block.
