Failed to add badge to PHP products

  • 772

I want to show the badge nuevo, for this I was trying the following code but it always shows me that it is new:

The code I am using:

function NewProduct(){
    
    $DateProduct = '2010-01-10 00:00:00';
    $days = 5;
    $offset = $days*60*60*24;

    if ($DateProduct < date('U') - $offset ) {
        echo '<span class="new-product">NEW</span>';
    }
}

NewProduct();
php

    There are a couple of problems with the logic:

    • You can't compare a string against a timestamp
    • The comparison should be if the product date is less than 5 days from the current date, i.e. fecha_de_producto>= current_date - 5 days

    The first thing to do is convert the product date to a timestamp with strtotime(), then subtract 5 days from the current date and do the comparison.

    function NewProduct($fecha){
    $DateProduct = strtotime($fecha);
    $hoyMenos5 = strtotime("- 5 days");
    if ($DateProduct >= $hoyMenos5) {
        echo '<span class="new-product">NEW</span>';
    }
}

NewProduct('2020-09-25 00:00:00'); // NEW
NewProduct('2020-09-21 00:00:00'); // Nada
