[HELP!] Quick PHP question... please take a look someone

[007]

I am trying to make an if/else statement that deals with the last reply time of threads. I had this working a few hours ago but I've since had to restart by PC when it froze and now I can't figure out what I did to begin with

Here's my basic idea of what I am trying to do:

PHP Code:

if ((time()-$thread['lastpost']) >= 86400 and !$bbuserinfo['userid']) 
    {$variable=1;}
else if ($bbuserid != 0)
    {$variable=2;}

if ((time()-$thread['lastpost']) >= 86400) 
{
$variable=1;
} 
elseif (!$bbuserinfo['userid'])  
{
$variable=2;
} 
elseif ($bbuserinfo['userid'] != 0) 
{
$variable=3;
} 
else 
{$variable=4;
} 


Is there something I don't understand about if/else statements??? This is basically what I am trying to do but i haven't been able to get this to work.

Is there a good place that shows the do's and don'ts of if/else statements???? Or can someone show me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

The main problem I'm having is that the first line, with the time in it isn't coded right apparently, because it's not recognising that I only want threads that have been replied to within the last 24 hours.

Even the simple:

PHP Code:

if (time()-($thread[lastpost]) >= 86400) { 
$variable=X;
} 


..does not work..

Any ideas?????

if you explain what you're really trying to do then maybe i can help.

Well I messed up the code up there a little but I have it all coded now.

I am trying to make it so guests can only view threads that have received replies within the last 24 hours.

The code I had above was just my guess at what I should do but I then tried that and it didn't work...

Do you know how I could do this?

Here's what I have for the time checker:

PHP Code:

$show=".gettemplate('postbit_guests').";

if ((time() - $thread[lastpost] >= 86400)) {  
eval("\$show = \"".gettemplate('postbit_show')."\";"); 
} 


$show is part of another hack that replaces the massage in the postbit with different things if the user is a guest.

That's the hack I am trying to make this work with if that helps.

Thanks for any help.
