[BlueOnyx:12824] PHP Date_Diff

[Richard Sidlin]

Not sure if this is relevant for this list but I'll ask anyway! We have a
standard 5108R installation running on Hyper V and causes us no issues,
apart from one. The only software installed apart from what comes with the
server is Solarspeed Automated Backup.

 

We run a bespoke piece of software that allows participants to enter a road
running race and after they register for the race, the system puts them in
their relevant age category that is derived from their date of birth and age
on the day of the race.

 

Now the developer of the software has looked at the problem we have, and
that is, that if some of the entrants are close to another age category, it
sometimes puts them in the wrong category as he tells me the data_diff
function seems to be calculating things incorrectly. On previous versions of
BO and PHP I guess before the function was built in, we had no problems as
he used code within his software to do the calculation.

 

The PHP version that is installed is this:

 

PHP 5.3.3 (cli) (built: Feb 27 2013 14:53:26) Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The
PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

    with the ionCube PHP Loader v4.2.2, Copyright (c) 2002-2012, by ionCube
Ltd., and

    with Zend Guard Loader v3.3, Copyright (c) 1998-2010, by Zend
Technologies

 

So, is it possible to change the PHP version that may fix this or to somehow
fix this anomaly in the installed version?

 

Thanks as always.

 

 

Richard
