Turns out that the method used by AB2.5 yields wrong results (one year off) if the user is old enough.

'Old enough' is typically 100 years or more so it doesn't really matter, though.


I came up with a different method for calculating the member's age. It works fine for all ages, and as a bonus, it doesn't have the requirement of the code that is implemented currently.

if($user['birth']) { $months = array(1 => 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'); $bd = explode('-',$user['birth']); $birthday = $months[(int)$bd[0]].' '.(int)$bd[1]; $unit = ($bd[1]>=10 && $bd[1]<=13) ? 4 : $bd[1]%10; switch ($unit) { case 1: $birthday .= 'st'; break; case 2: $birthday .= 'nd'; break; case 3: $birthday .= 'rd'; break; default: $birthday .= 'th'; break; } if ($bd[2]) { $birthday .= ', '.$bd[2]; $datenow = explode('-',date("m-d-Y")); $daynow = $datenow[0]*31 + $datenow[1]; $daybd = (int)$bd[0]*31 + (int)$bd[1]; $age = $datenow[2] - (int)$bd[2]; if ($daybd > $daynow) $age--; if ($age < 0) $age = '(born in '.(-$age).' year'.($age==-1?'':'s').')'; else $age = '('.$age.' year'.($age==1?'':'s').' old)'; } else $age = ''; } else { $birthday='&nbsp;'; $age=''; }

This assumes that the user birthday is stored as 'MM-DD-YYYY' or 'MM-DD' when the year is omitted.

In my Acmlmboard branch, 'no birthday entered' is represented by an empty string, rather than 0 or -1.
