Help with query

[ericgtr]

I setup a $newmembers variable and I want it to display how many users have registered in the last 24 hours but I keep getting errors. Here is the code I am trying to use, any help would be great.

$newmembers=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM user WHERE joindate>'".(time()-3600*24)."');

What's the error you are getting?

Two notes just off the top...you should be taking into account the TABLE_PREFIX, like shown below, and you don't need single quotes around an integer such as the joindate, so the query would look like:
$newmembers = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE joindate > ".(time()-3600*24).");

I tried what you gave me and I still get an error:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in /home/vhfansco/public_html/vb/modules/stats.php on line 32

What it's doing is giving me this parse error 2 lines past the line of code that I am adding for some reason.

I should also mention this is for my stats module on my vbadvanced, still I set it up like all the others.

Can you post the surrounding code? i.e. two lines above through about five lines below.

Sure, here's the entire module it's not too big. Hopefully it's okay to post this here, I will use the code tag.
