is it possible to do it like
SELECT *, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(post_date)-172,800 as is_new FROM tbl

$post = mysqli_fetch_object($sql);
if($post->is_new)
echo '<img src=new.gif">';

Make it easy and store the date as a unix timestamp. Then it's a
simple test    to do

If ((current timestamp - db timestamp) < 172,800 ){
 echo '<img src='new.gif'>';

Conversely, you can use strtotime() to convert the date.

i do have a mysql table with one date field.
what i want is to display and tiny icon (red new icon) so user will
notice it is a new post.
i am looking for the simplest solutions here.

i believe we can calculate whether the date is within two days of user
current time.
then we display an icon based on it.

can anyone help?

thanks
