Check date, display image?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Currently, one part of my site is displaying content via a database.
One of the fields it pulls is ‘$adddate’.

I’m looking to add:
if ‘$adddate’ is less than seven days ago
print new.gif

@ScleppelOct 01.2005 — If $adddate is already a unix timestamp you can do this:
[code=php]
if((mktime() - $adddate) <= 604800)
echo 'new image stuff here.';
else
echo 'too old to have the new image';
[/code]
If it's not, try using strtotime (http://www.php.net/strtotime) to get a unix timestamp.

@lavashark_comauthorOct 01.2005 — thanks. I'll try that today and let you know how things go.

@lavashark_comauthorOct 02.2005 — They all display "too old to have new image" without any errors etc.

I might now assume that it isn't a unix timestamp?

[code=php]
if(time() - strtotime($adddate) <= 60*60*24*7)
{
# output the image
}
[/code]

@lavashark_comauthorOct 02.2005 — Tried this:

[code=php]<? if(time() - strtotime($adddate) <= 60*60*24*7)
{
<img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">
}

?> [/code]

and got some errors.

couldnt parse line 95 or something.

Line 95 = <img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">

different way to output image?

print perhaps?

@ScleppelOct 02.2005 — You have to echo/print it.
[code=php]
echo '<img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">';
[/code]

@lavashark_comauthorOct 02.2005 — by the way:

what's wrong with this code,

(I'm trying to add; "if not less than three days, add bullet")
[code=php] <?

if(time() - strtotime($adddate) <= 60*60*24*3)
{
echo '<img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">';
}

{else echo '<img src="images/bullet_b.gif" width="11" height="9" border="0">';
}

?> [/code]

@lavashark_comauthorOct 02.2005 — (man i'm smart! :rolleyes: )

[code=php]<?

if(time() - strtotime($adddate) <= 60*60*24*3)
{
echo '<img src="../images/new.gif" width="19" height="9" border="0">';
}

else

{
echo '<img src="images/bullet_b.gif" width="11" height="9" border="0">';
}

?> [/code]

(thanks again)
