Question

Code Giving me Trouble:

    foreach($result as $row)
    { 

    echo "<div class='listing'>";
        print $row['uUName'] . '</strong><br />' .
        '<strong>' . $row['listTitle'] . '</strong><br />' .
        $arr = explode(':', $row['LISTDIFF']);
        echo "$arr[0] minutes, $arr[1] seconds";
    echo "</div>";
    }

This outputs: Array minutes, seconds . Why is the array empty?

Answer 1

Do the date calculations in MySQL:

SELECT TIMEDIFF(listDT, now())

which returns the difference as a string in the format hh:mm:ss.ssss, which you can then massage in PHP to add the ‘minutes’ and ‘seconds’ text.

$arr = explode(':', $result['LISTDIFF']);
echo "$arr[0] minutes, $arr[1] seconds";
