Hi everyone,

i been trying a lot lot of things, searched everywhere but got confused between Date field, SS_Datetime and the diff diffIn functions, i basically didn't achieve a single calculation between a $DateOfBirth field written in the db and either Date() or SS_Datetime::now

Is there any concrete code example where i can see how to find the age of someone based on his/her birthday ?

Example:
(full working code for silver 3.x if anyone else need)

Asume u have page called PersonPage

PersonPage.php

<?php
class PersonPage extends Page {

private static $db = array(
'DateOfBirth' => 'Date'
    );

public function getCMSFields() {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();
	$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Main", new DateField('DateOfBirth'));
        return $fields;
    }
}

class PersonPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

public function Age() { 
$birthdate = $this->DateOfBirth; // person birth date
$datetime = date('Y-m-d'); // date doday
$year = date_diff(date_create($birthdate), date_create($datetime))->y; // calculation and formating to year
return $year;
    }
}

In template PersonPage.ss

<div>Person age: $Age </div>

Let me know if any problems, should work correct.

u can also write same function a bit nicer:

public function Age() { 
$birthdate = new DateTime($this->DateOfBirth);
$datetime = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'));
$year = $birthdate->diff($datetime)->y;
return $year;
}

Hi, Friizu

It works perfectly, thanks for the support. I will use the code in the website http://www.unlabelled-girls.com. Thanks again
