So far, I've been proud of myself - I've been re-learning php after not coding for a few years, and I hadn't had to ask for help yet. Unfortunately, that ends right now. I'm building my site around a phpBB2 installation, using the user table from the phpBB system as the user table for the whole site (it actually integrates quite well once you figure out the right way to do it). I used a phpBB mod to get the users birthdate in the database, and I wanted to use it to put the user's age on a custom profile page. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, it probably would be, however the mod stores the dates in a way I'm not very familiar with. For example, my birthdate, November 13, 1981, appears as "4334" in the user_birthday table. By comparison, the fake age I put in for my test user, May 4, 1954, comes up as "-5721."
My question is, can anybody give me a suggestion on how to convert that into the user's age? I'm at a loss.
