Question

i have problem to show only day or month from dob in mysql. i did these steps,

first added a table in database:

ALTER TABLE `dle_users` ADD `dob` DATE NOT NULL;

second added this code in php file:

$dob = $db->super_query( "SELECT dob FROM dle_users");
$tpl->set("{dob}", $dob);

in profile page i got correct result like this: 1372-07-08 (its a persian date)

problem is, i need to show only day or month, not full date

i tried this ways:

$dob = date("m", $row['dob']);    
$tpl->set("{dob}", $dob);

but it does not work! how i can fix this?

thank u 🙂

I don’t know which framework or cms you using but you in core php should try it like this

$dob = date("m", strtotime($row['dob']));    
$tpl->set("{dob}", $dob);

and for daycounting you should check out this link

$date1 = "2007-03-24";
$date2 = "2009-06-26";

$diff = abs(strtotime($date2) - strtotime($date1));

$years = floor($diff / (365*60*60*24));
$months = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24) / (30*60*60*24));
$days = floor(($diff - $years * 365*60*60*24 - $months*30*60*60*24)/ (60*60*24));

printf("%d days\n", $days);
