Hi Guys

i have two fields in my database "date of admission" and "date of discharge"
i would like to be able to calculate a patients length of stay and show that somewhere on the form.
Is that possible with PhpRunner or do i need to use some javascript?
Many thanks Again.

James,
use Before record added/Before record updated events on the Events tab to calculate this value.

Here is a sample:

$values["FieldName"] = (strtotime($values["date of admission"])-strtotime($values["date of discharge"]))/(60*60*24);
