ok this is what i came up with so far... please dont laugh...lol

PHP Code:

//open search.php

//what do i change here ??? i dunno... im not good with conditionals....


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);
        }
