Hey all,
I'm playing around with some code, and basically the idea is:
Person changes their profileI fetch some XML that has a unix timestamp for the time the person changed their profile, so it'll keep increasing everytime I fetch the XML. It looks like this: <profileTime>12086</profileTime>I then run it through a function to convert the unix time to hours:mins:secsFinally I run it through another function to calc how long in the past that was, so it can be displayed in a user friendly format.
The issue is, every time I run it through the second function, the final displayed time keeps increasing, rather than staying the same, which it should stay the same, because the person only changed their profile once, at that original time.
Here is the first function, where I convert the unix time to h:m:s:
Code: function convert($sec, $padHours = false) {
$hms = null;
$hours = intval(intval($sec) / 3600);
$hms .= ($padHours) ? str_pad($hours, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT). ':' : $hours. ':';
$minutes = intval(($sec / 60) % 60);
$hms .= str_pad($minutes, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT). ':';
$seconds = intval($sec % 60);
$hms .= str_pad($seconds, 2, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT);
return $hms;
}
And here's the code in teh second function to format it:
Code: function olddate($hours, $minutes, $seconds) {
/* List of working timezones here:
*
* http://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
*/
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');
// Calculate the exact day and time the status message was set
$pf_time = strtotime("-".$hours." hours ".$minutes." minutes ".$seconds." seconds");
echo date("D F j, Y, g:i (s) a", $pf_time);
//return date("D F j, Y, g:i (s) a", $pf_time);
}
Anyone able to offer any advice?
