thewhat Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hi all. I need some suggestions. I'm trying to set up this DB info where certain things are only available within x hours. I'm really stumped on how to go about doing this too. Can anyone help me or am I being too vague?

phpSensei Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 You know, there are alot of tutorials out there http://ca.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/MySQL/Practical-Date-Time-examples-with-PHP-and-MySQL/1/ http://www.tizag.com/mysqlTutorial/mysql-time.php http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/php/php-datediff-function/ http://ca.php.net/time Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82788-solved-suggestions-for-mysqltime-use/#findComment-421039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhat Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Well I know about all that. But I'm not sure how to apply it to get exactly what I need. I'll try to show you an example. info1 - 18 hours info2 - 12 hours info3 - 6 hours Each of those countdowns begins whenever the query is set and then is inserted into the other table of info at the end of the specified time. ???

phpSensei Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Here is a code that DELETEs a data according to a time. $delete = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `table` WHERE `date` < '".(($now = time()) - $period)."'"); $period would be the time in seconds, just divide 18 hours into seconds. i am not sure if you want an INSERT STATEMENT, because then you would use if/else Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82788-solved-suggestions-for-mysqltime-use/#findComment-421069 Share on other sites More sharing options...

phpSensei Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 You pm'ed me on a question and here is your answer/ <?php // Alright, lets say you want to insert data if it is certain date // // First you need the dates for this $period = array(); $period[then] = mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 2007); // This is only a certain date in 2007 $period[now] = time(); // The current Timestamp for now if($period[then]==$period[now]){ // If it is the date where you want things to change // Then you can insert a data mysql_query("INSERT INTO `table` ('field','field','field') VALUES ('$value','$value','$value')")or die(mysql_error()); } ?> Thats what i ment.

thewhat Posted December 25, 2007 Author Share Posted December 25, 2007 Ah yeah. But here's a problem. It wasn't going so I debugged and made $period[then] equal today(12/25/07). And when I echoed both variables, they weren't of the same value. What the hell?
