I would like to do something like this, but I don't know syntax:

If (currentDate - createdDate < 5) {
     <span>new article</span>
}

Re: [ikanizaj] Comparing dates

basicly, if I use this:

<?php echo date("U", strtotime($record['Date'])) ?>
<?php echo date("U") ?>

the difference should be less then 345600, but I need a little help with php programming...

Re: [ikanizaj] Comparing dates

Hey

To test if a date is less than 345600 seconds in the past, try something like this:

if((time() - strtotime($record['Date'])) < 345600) {
  echo "less";
}
else {
  echo "more";
}

Hope that helps,
Robin
