search.php - help needed - "getdaily"

[trevelyn1015]

// ################################################## ###########################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'getdaily')
{
globalize($_REQUEST, array(
'forumid' => INT,

// get date:

}
else

$_REQUEST['do'] = 'getdaily';
if ($days < 1)

$days = 1;
}

if (!$hours)

$hours = 24;

if (!$minutes)
{
$minutes = 60;
}

if (!$seconds)
{
$seconds = 60;
}
$datecut = TIMENOW - ($hours * $minutes * $seconds * $days);
}

why doesn't that work for getting daily posts by minutes?

hours and days work? but not minutes... why not?

for:

search.php?do=getdaily&minutes=15

search.php?do=getdaily&hours=1

search.php?do=getdaily&days=1

days work, hours, work, but minutes don't...

any help

[Zachery]

Where are you defining thoughs varibles in THE PHP

[trevelyn1015]

i don't understand what you are saying...

do you have aol instant messenger?

[sabret00the]

the $days variable isn't defined either, so i don't think it needs to be deined i think the issue is the the TIMENOW() fucntion, he's gotta work out which is for which.

[trevelyn1015]

yeah... anyone know what to do here? :)

[amykhar]

For one thing, your equation is wrong. If you were trying to find posts from 2 days and 3 hours ago, which is possible to do, you would end up with
2*3*60*60, which isn't right.

What you need to do is to say that if hours, minutes, days, etc. aren't set, they are equal to 0.

Then, your math looks like (days *24*60*60) + (hours *60*60) + (minutes*60) + seconds.

[trevelyn1015]

so, amy, why does everything work fine, but minutes?

[amykhar]

It won't work for seconds.

You got lucky with hours, because days is set to 1.

The equation for hours is TIMENOW - ($hours *60*60)

because there are 60 minutes in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute.

Anything bigger than an hour isn't a problem because your math holds true. The problem is with the minutes and seconds.

[trevelyn1015]

so what should i do, amy?

the original string of code for that section looked like this:

// ################################################## ###########################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'getdaily')
{
globalize($_REQUEST, array(
'forumid' => INT,
'days' => INT,
'exclude' => STR
));

// get date:
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' AND $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'] != 0)
{
// if action = getnew and last visit date is set
$datecut = $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
}
else
{
$_REQUEST['do'] = 'getdaily';
if ($days < 1)
{
$days = 1;
}
$datecut = TIMENOW - (24 * 60 * 60 * $days);
}

[sabret00the]

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'getnew' AND $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'] != 0)
{
// if action = getnew and last visit date is set
$datecut = $bbuserinfo['lastvisit'];
}
else
{
$_REQUEST['do'] = 'getdaily';
if ($days < 1)
{
$days = 1;
}

if (!$hours)
{
$hours = 0;
}

if (!$minutes)
{
$minutes = 0;
}
$datecut = TIMENOW - ($hours * $minutes * 0 * $days);
} ok if i half understood what amy's saying, she's saying try that :)

[Dean C]

You can't default the variables to 0, that'll make it TIMENOW - 0 when you multiply anything by it. :)

[amykhar]

Exactly, Dean. That's what you want to happen.

And, no Saber. That's not what I was saying :) My board is down right now so I can't test this, but I imagine it would look like this:


else
{
$_REQUEST['do'] = 'getdaily';
if (($days < 1)AND(!$hours)AND(!$minutes)AND(!$seconds))
{
$days = 1;
$hours = 0;
$minutes = 0;
$seconds = 0;

}
elseif($days < 1) {
$days = 0;
}
$datecut = TIMENOW - (($days*24*60*60) + ($hours*60*60) + ($minutes*60) + $seconds);

}


Doing it this way doesn't mess up the original usage - if no variables are set, it should default to 1 day. If any combination of days, hours or minutes are set though, it should work.

Within that elseif block, you should check to see if the hours, minutes and seconds are properly set and initialize them to 0 if not.
