See http://www.php.net/date for reference and be sure to enclose it with "'s

Done. I originally made a mistake with the syntax, but I figured out what I did wrong, and now the format is fine.

I'm now getting:

When I reset the counter, the database value does change. After I read off the above value, I reset the counters again, and it changed to "1092748229". However, the date and time shown is exactly the same.


Edit:

Aha! Solved! The problem was that I had to change this:


$whoviewedreset = vbdate("m/d/Y - h:i a", '$thread[whoviewedreset]');

to this:

$whoviewedreset = vbdate("m/d/Y - h:i a", $thread[whoviewedreset]);


The ' characters around the $thread[whoviewedreset] variable was invalidating the value and returning zero.


So, now everything is working perfectly!



I can't thank you enough, Colin. I really appreciate all the time you put into this. And again, I apologize for making you do so much coding.
