$TIME and $DATETIME

Posted: Thu Oct 21, 2004 9:50 am

I'm looking to use the newgraphic function in a custom module.

It takes $TIME and $DATETIME like in downloads and weblinks mods, and those are working great.

Basically, I can' find where $TIME and $DATETIME are first instantiated.

If I had those, I'm positive I can port that function anywhere as long as I address where the images should always come from.

Well, I think I got it... $time is renamed from the date column of the nuke_links_links and similiar for downloads table.

$datetime is aparently global.

It works so on [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] the patriotic list (which now has Raven's hosting) now shows a correct green new logo next to it (I put in on 10/19).

$time is the variable passed to the formatTimestamp function in mainfile.php for proccessing - $datetime is the result sent back.

So if it's all coming back.. I include mainfile.php and $time is gotten from my tables... e.g., a select of column date into variable $time. Then formatTimestamp is executed with $time and $datetime is returned.

So then I have $time and $datetime and I can use them.

Sounds good...think it's working...now I just need to vertically center the image next to text (defauly is top apparently)... HTML 4.0 deprecates valign and align in IMG...any ideas?
