Using vbdate

How would I use vbdate to format the date/time of a 'lastpost' number from the DB table called 'thread'?

NTLDR

PHP Code:


		
			
$date = vbdate($dateformat, $thread['dateline']);

$time = vbdate($timeformat, $thread['dateline']);

Replacing $thread with the variable that holds in information from the DB.

I've done this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$query = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM thread");

while ($row= mysql_fetch_array($query)) 

{



$lastpost = vbdate($dateformat,$row['lastpost']);

.

.

.

echo "$lastpost<br>";



}

But the dates don't appear...

Firstly, if you including vB's global.php then there is no need to use mysql_query, use the builtin MySQL functions that coem with vB :)

PHP Code:


		
			
$threads = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM thread"); 

while($thread =$DB_site->fetch_array($threads)) { 



    $lastpost = vbdate($dateformat, $thread['lastpost']); 



    echo "$lastpost<br />"; 



}

If this code is in a function then make sure you have:

PHP Code:


		
			
global $DB_site, $timeformat, $dateformat;

Also note that if the page is outputing templates then the echo isn't likly to output anything to the browser.

I am using global.php on this page for user identification purposes, but the above code doesn't print out the dates. Does the page automatically recognize vbdate() when you require global.php?

Yes, if you haven't included global.php you will see and error saying something saying call to undefined function vbdate() on line x in file x.php.

Are you using echo/print and HTML within the PHP file or are you using templates for the page?

I'm using HTML/PHP rather than the vB templates for the page. The site is separate from the forum content-wise (aside from displaying recent threads), but is integrated with the vB user database via global.php, and most of the pages are structured like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir('./vB/');

require('global.php');

require ('header.php');



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']>0)

{

// Page content

}



if ($bbuserinfo['userid']==0)

{

echo "You must be registered to view this page. Please login or register";

}



require ('footer.php');
