Just a quickie,
I have a date in my database where a subscription to a service starts…
In your experience, do you think it’s better to record the expiration period as a time.. so then i can add the time onto the date_created to see if it has expired… Or shall I just workout the date it will end in php and put that into a datetime in the database?
So, TIME or DATETIME for subscription length.
Ask me if you want more details.
I would use the end date, this way you only need to make one calculation when you add the record to your database. Every other time you can just compare the current date to the expiration date.
