Timestamp help

[Ittermat]

I need some help with formatting Timestamps.

I have a last login thing- but I want it to show a date- Like dd-mm-YYYY
but I cant get the timestamp converted...

And Im not sure what to put in/how to do that.

 

[Hall of Famer]

Can you show the code of this page? It may be in /view/profileview.php or /classes/class_userprofile.php.

 

[Ittermat]

ITs this area of it... the bio information

                <b>Status:</b> {$online}</br>

                <b>Title:</b> {$user->usergroup}<br>

                <b>Member Since:</b> {$current_user_i2->membersince} </br>
 
                <b>Last Login:{$current_user_i2->lastlogin}<br>

                <b>Gender:</b> {$current_user->gender}</br>

                <b>Favorite color:</b> {$current_user->color}</br>

                <b>Nickname:</b> {$current_user->nickname}</br>

                <b>About:</b> {$current_user->bio}</br>

Or do you need the whole thing?

 

[Hall of Famer]

Yeah, can you show the entire method(public function) where this block of code is found?

 

[Ittermat]

I had to do it this way cuz its super long and it wouldnt let me send it as an RTF file

 

[Hall of Famer]

I dont mean the entire file, just the section/method of the code where its defined. Also can you use pastebin? The code is very poorly formatted in the word document and I have a hard time reading it.

 

[Ittermat]

I've never used pastebin... but yea Its a long file and theres a HUGE area for the Public function... anyway I'll do that when I get home later.

 

[Hall of Famer]

Okay then, though I think you can attach a .php file? I dont understand why using .rtf format, its not used for code and the formatting makes it very difficult for me to read.

 

[Ittermat]

is this better? Apologies

 

[Hall of Famer]

Well find this block of code(around line 176)

        else{$halloween = "";}



        $document->add(new Comment("

        {$halloween}

Anyway in future you dont have to show the entire script file, just show the public function view() is good enough.

 

[Ittermat]

when I put in this



$lastLoginDate = $current_user_i2->lastlogin ? new DateTime("@{$current_user_i2->lastlogin}")->format("d-m-Y") : "N/A";


It gives me "syntax error, Unexpected T_Object_operator error

 

[Hall of Famer]

Oh I forgot that PHP does not behave like Java for calling methods on anonymous object.

This should do:

$lastLoginDate = $current_user_i2->lastlogin ? (new DateTime("@{$current_user_i2->lastlogin}"))->format("d-m-Y") : "N/A";

 

[Ittermat]

yay! that worked Thank you!!

Now how would I change the date on the member since area to match?

 

[Hall of Famer]

You see the format("d-m-Y") part in the code? Change it to whatever format you want.

 

[Ittermat]

no no I mean- how do I change it else where? Like in the code-

<b>Member Since:</b> {$current_user_i2->membersince}</br>

What do I add to this to change the date format? Since its not a jumble of numbers

 

[Hall of Famer]

Well behind the last login date variable declaration:

       $lastLoginDate = $current_user_i2->lastlogin ? (new DateTime("@{$current_user_i2->lastlogin}"))->format("d-m-Y") : "N/A";

add a new line:

     $memberSince = new DateTime($current_user_i2->membersince);

Then replace this:

<b>Member Since:</b> {$current_user_i2->membersince}</br>

By:

<b>Member Since:</b> {$membersince->format('d-m-Y')}</br>

 

[GeneticAlpha]

@Hall of Famer Do you know why my lastLoginDate would be showing the N/A from this:

$lastLoginDate = $current_user_i2->lastlogin ? (new DateTime("@{$current_user_i2->lastlogin}"))->format("d-m-Y") : "N/A";

? I tried doing this since it was working for Ittermat, but it won't work the same for me. It just does the N/A and won't stamp a date. My database shows the same as hers.

 

[Hall of Famer]

@GeneticAlpha

It shows NA if the lastlogin data field is null or 0, which means that the user has never logged in.

 

[GeneticAlpha]

@GeneticAlpha

It shows NA if the lastlogin data field is null or 0, which means that the user has never logged in.

Dang, I wonder what I'm doing wrong then, because I've been logging in and out using my own account

 

[Hall of Famer]

Maybe the user has logged in, but the data aint saved properly. Or perhaps the login data was saved but not retrieved properly. You need to check the database table where the lastlogin field is stored, and see if it is 0 or NULL.
