Bira:

How is this hack holding up on your board? I haven't noticed any real slow downs at all.

Also, if you would. I ask this in another area but no one responded. I am working on another hack but I couldn't figure out how to have the script check todays date against a member's birthday in the main index.php file.

I want to use this check

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid']!=0) {

  $username=$bbuserinfo['username'];

  eval("\$welcometext = \"".gettemplate('forumhome_welcometext')."\";");

and change this to

if ($bbuserinfo['birthday'] = today's date) {
etc.

I just don't know what to put in for today's date.

Thanks,
Parker

well without deeply looking into it, it should be something like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$birthdate = explode("-", $bbuserinfo['birthday']); // extracting the year month day

$birthday = $birthdate[1]."-".$birthdate[2]; // getting an m-d format of the birthday 

$today = vbdate("m-d", time()); // getting today's date in m-d format



if ($birthday==$today) { 

     // it's the user's birthday today



} else {

    // it's not his birthday



}

That did the trick. Thanks so much again for your help. If I don't get a chance to say so in the future Merry Christmas to you and yours and a very Happy New Year.
