Ok so im sorry of this is a dumb question but i have a table called contact history where my users fill out a form when they contact a customer. I need to be able to auto check a check box in that table when a record become older then 3 months so that my users know that they need to contact this customer again.
im using mysql 5 with php 5 running phprunner 4.0
this is the table im working with
select

`Contact History ID`, - int - autoinc

`Contact Date`, - timestamp

`User ID`, - int

`Company ID`, - int

`Company Name`, - varchar

`Contact Person`, - varchar

`Method Of Contact`, -varchar

`Contact Email`, - varchar

`Contact Phone`, - varchar

`Contact Address`, - varchar

`Contact Reason`, - varchar

`Contact Older Then Three Months` - varchar

From `contact history`
so moral of the story i want `Contact Older Then Three Months` which is a check box to become true if `Contact Date` is older then three months.
thx Travis W

Travis,
to check off Contact Older Then Three Months field automatically use Before record added event.

Here is a sample code:

if ($values["ContactDate"])

{

// split $values["ContactDate"] to array

$arr = db2time($values["ContactDate"]);

// construct time

$t = mktime($arr[3],$arr[4],$arr[5],$arr[1],$arr[2],$arr[0]);

// compare time with current time subtracted by 92 days

if($t < time()-606024*92)

$values["Contact Older Then Three Months"] = "1";

}

Hello

thx Jane but i was wondering if this will work on the list page so that all of the records in that table that are over three months will be check off auto.

No. This code works on the Edit or Add pages only.
