[RESOLVED] How do I calculate how many days ago a post was posted?

Oct 16.2010

In my WordPress database, the time when a post was posted is recorded in the format Y-m-d H:i:s

How do I find out how many days ago a post was posted? Thanks in advance.

@NogDogOct 16.2010 — It's probably easiest to do it in the database query, as it's almost certainly a datetime type field, so you could use the MySQL DATEDIFF() function, along with CURDATE() for the first parameter.

@narutodude000authorOct 16.2010 — I got $query="SELECT ID, DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),post_date), post_author, ...", then the outputed resource is transformed into an array. I can access fields by using $post['comment_count'], $post['post_author'], etc. How do I access the value of DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),post_date)?

@narutodude000authorOct 16.2010 — Nevermind, I got it using [CODE]DATEDIFF(CURDATE(),post_date) as post_age[/CODE]

Thanks!
