I really need help here. What I am trying to do is the following.
Which database are you using? What format is it returning the date and
time in (string or integer)? It may be simpler to coerce them to integers
and convert that way with div/mod and mktime().
if($row[3] == $today){
First recommendation: use mysql_fetch_array() (or the equivalent). It
makes life _so_ much simpler, ie $row[date], $row[start_time],
$row[end_time]
$today = date(m.d.y);
$time = date(g:i a);
Second recommendation: do time math in decimal seconds.
define(SECONDS_PER_DAY, 86400);
$now = time();
$today = $now - ( $now % SECONDS_PER_DAY );
$tomorrow = $today + SECONDS_PER_DAY;
// this may be easier if date and time are returned as strings
$start_time = strtotime($row[date] . . $row[start_time]);
$end_time = strtotime($row[date] . . $row[end_time]);
if ($start_time = $tomorrow) {// doesn't start today
$when = $row[date]. at .$row[start_time];
}
else if ($start_time $now) {// starts today but not yet
$when = Today at .$row[start_time];
}
else if ($end_time = $now) {// already started, ends later
$when = Now showing;
}
else {// already ended
$when = Over;
}

[PHP-DB] Subtracting times?
I really need help here. What I am trying to do is the following.
-
$today = date(m.d.y);
$time = date(g:i a);
if($row[3] == $today){
if(($row[4] $time) and ($time $row[6])){
print(Now Showing);
} else {
print(Today at $row[4]);
}
} else {
print($row[3] at $row[4]);
}
$row[3] -- Date stored in database i.e 06.23.01
$row[4] -- Start time stored in database i.e 7.00 pm
$row[6] -- End time stored in database i.e 7.30 pm
My problem is that when it looks for the difference in time it works fine
with say :
start time = 7:00 pm
end time = 8:00 pm
But as soon as I go into:
start time = 7:00 pm
end time = 7.35 pm
it mucks up!
Please help!! What do I need to do?
