time converter

[Nile]

<?php
function secondsConvert($time){
  $seconds = explode(':', $time);
  $total_seconds = 0;
  $total_seconds += $seconds[0] * (60 * 60);
  $total_seconds += $seconds[1] * 60;
  $total_seconds += $seconds[2];
  return $total_seconds;
}
$time = date("H:i:s");
echo secondsConvert($time)." seconds"; 
?>

secondsConvert will return (hours*60*60)+(minutes*60)+seconds.

how to do with date?

[Nile]

Well - for days, that would just be day * 24 * 60 * 60, but for months and years, it'd be hard because there aren't always four weeks in a month...

how to create difference then?

can I use $time - $timet = 300seconds ?

OR

if (($time - $timet) >= '00:05:00') then {echo "he is online";}

How to do something like that?

[Nile]

What do you mean? Can't you just insert names of the people online, and when the user logs out, there not online?

[auriaks]

But sometimes people dont push log out and name would be still there

[Nile]

Hmm.. So every time the user goes somewhere, have a field for each user called "Minute" and insert the current minute. Then, when every user refreshes the page, it checks each users minutes, and if its more then 5 minutes idle, delete them from the list. (also, make sure 61 = 0, 62 = 1...)

Will this work even then when they close their browsers??

[Nile]

Yes - 5 minutes after they close the browser, they shold be off the list.
