Join Date "if statement" not working?

[007]

Can anyone see what's wrong with this? I can't see why it won't work..

PHP Code:

$newyear = 1136091600; //new years day 2006

if ($userinfo[joindate] < $newyear)
{ //code here should be executed if the user's join date is greater than the specified time variable, which should be anyone who has joined prior to Jan 1st 2006.
} 


It doesn't work though. Any ideas? Thanks!

Where are you trying to add this..?

[007]

In the newpost hook as a plugin.

[Zachery]

$userinfo[joindate] is not valid


$vbulletin->userinfo['joindate']
or
$this->userinfo['joindate']

[007]

Both of those cause this:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /blah blah/etc

That didn't happen before, but neither did the code that was supposed to execute.

[Zachery]

What or where are you trying to hack / plug this in?

[007]

I'm putting it the newpost_process plugin. If a member signed up prior to New Years then some code is executed when they post. I know the code works because it worked fine before I added the cutoff date do it.

Basically I just need to pull the members joindate in unix form (your standard timestamp) and compare it to the value specified as $newyear as seen in the code.

Thanks for any ideas.

try without the single quotes.

Found the problem. Apparently when trying both of those I did a find and replace and accidentally replaced something that was already there.

Works now! Thanks for the help!
