Once a day

Napster

this is part of a script that i use for a game. THis part lets you only play it once a day

elseif ($row[time] < $date)
{
echo "You just killed an orc, wait tell one comes back";
}

Now it is always saying, "You just killed an orc, wait tell one comes back" even though there is nothing in the database. I get $row[time] from the database and $date is

$time = time();
$date = date('y-m-d 00:00:00',$time);

What is wrong with it?

do your comparisons using strtotime() which returns a unix time stamp (in the format of number of seconds elapsed since UNIX epoch).

what did u just say

You are trying to compare strings using a math operator.

Leave the dates as unix timestamps to compare. Then turn them into strings that are readable if you need to.

Read about variables in the manual.

ok, would i stille be able to put time into a timestap column and how do I make time() so that it is 00:00:00 of that day

maybl8r03

<?php
$strTimeStamp1 = strtotime("20 Jan 2003 10:13pm");
$strTimeStamp2 = strtotime("30 Jan 2003 10:12am");

echo "{$strTimeStamp2} &gt; {$strTimeStamp1} ?" .($strTimeStamp2 > $strTimeStam1? "True":"False") . "<br />";

$strTimeStamp1 = date("d M Y H:s:i", $strTimeStamp1);
$strTimeStamp2 = date("d M Y H:s:i", $strTimeStamp2);
echo "{$strTimeStamp1} : {$strTimeStamp2} "
?>

If you'd like to re-arrange the date format, lookup the date() function documentation.

I do not understand what u said.

Is it possible to get a unix timestamp of a certain like the day it is that the user goes on the page at 00:00:00

Napster

Is it possible to get a unix timestamp of a certain time, like the day it is that the user goes on the page at 00:00:00
