That was my code, i was wondering, i know where every thing apears but i want the outcome to be that it says in my weblog:

Posted by ‘user’ on ‘day thehowmanieth of month’ at ‘24hour time’. I don’t exactly where to configure it on this one. Thank you.

The HTML for the line:

Posted by: <a href='index.php?user=pm&action=send&to=$posted'><b>$posted_name</b</a>$submitted on <b>$date</b> at <b>$time</b>

$date is the date variable (I assume)
and
$time is the time variable (again I assume)

Where are the variables coming from:

$query = "SELECT id,title,text,date,posted,submitted FROM weblog WHERE posted != '0' ORDER BY date DESC, id  DESC LIMIT 0,8";
$exec = mysql_query($query);
while ($result = mysql_fetch_array($exec)) {
....  
$time = get_date_short($result["date"]);
....
} 

I don’t see where you generate the date variable in your code. Maybe it is
in the get_date_short function (user defined function). That is where we need to look I think for your answers.

Look at that user function and you will probably see the PHP date() and/or time() function. Check out the manual to see how to modify them for your needs.

Yeh I’m sorry, i forgot to include this, this is from my file functions.php holding in all the commands, i recently edited it so it has a list of all days but it still won’t work. Plus, in the first set of code showing get_date_short i changed to get_date_archive:

[php]<?php
function get_date_short($date) {
$today = @gmdate(‘Ymd’, time() + (3600 * 2));
$compare = substr($date ,0,8);

$day = substr($date, 6,2);
$month = substr($date, 4,2);
$hours = substr($date, 8,2);
$minutes = substr($date, 10,2);

if ($today == $compare) {
return “$hours:$minutes”;
}

else {
return “$day/$month”;
}
}

function get_date_long($date) {
$day = substr($date, 6,2);
$month = substr($date, 4,2);
$year = substr($date, 0,4);

return “$day-$month-$year”;
}

function get_date_archive($date) {
$day = substr($date, 6,2);
$month = substr($date, 4,2);
$year = substr($date, 0,4);

$day_array = array(“Monday”, “Tuesday”, “Wednesday”, “Thursday”, “Friday”, “Saturday”, “Sunday”);
$day = $day_array[$day - 1];

$month_array = array(“January”, “February”, “March”, “April”, “May”, “June”, “July”, “August”, “September”, “October”, “November”, “December”);
$month_text = $month_array[$month - 1];

return “$day $month_text $year”;
}

function get_name($id) {
$exec = mysql_query(“SELECT name FROM users WHERE id=’$id’”);
$result = mysql_fetch_array($exec);
$name = $result[“name”];

return “$name”;
}

function get_id($name) {
$exec = mysql_query(“SELECT id FROM users WHERE name=’$name’”);
$result = mysql_fetch_array($exec);
$id = $result[“id”];

return “$id”;
}

function ubb_basic($text) {
$text = preg_replace("/()(.*)()/siU", “\4”,$text);

$text = eregi_replace("[center]","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("[/center]","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);
$text = eregi_replace("","",$text);

return ($text);
}

function ubb_advanced($text) {
$text = preg_replace("/img[/img]/is", ‘’, “$text”);
$text = preg_replace("/img w=(.+?) h=(.+?)[/img]/is", ‘’, “$text”);

return ($text);
}
?>[/php]

The date function in the manual allows you to load in the date you want to be converted as a timestamp (date taken out of the DB - is it a timestamp or a string?)

what is going wrong with your array fix? or you can take the numbers you are getting and do a switch to get the english name for what you want.

Sorry for my trouble, the first post in this thread was outdated and didn’t make any sense, referring to the ‘functions.php’ this is the new code.
