calculating age from dob with ajax

[felepeg]

Hi to all

i'm using calc pluggin to calculate age from date of birth using the next php code:

$date= '{dbpac1___Fecha_Nacimiento}';
$date = strtotime($date);
$now = time();
$diff = $now - $date;
$years = floor($diff / 31556926);
return $years;

which is working fine except in two cases:
1.- when open the form at start appears the number 43 in the calc field and that number is recorded in the database.
2.- when i click reset in the form, the ajax form doesn't works and keeps the last calculation done from the pluggin

thanks!

1.- when open the form at start appears the number 43 in the calc field and that number is recorded in the database.

Add a test to check that $date is not empty at the beginning of your code.

2.- when i click reset in the form, the ajax form doesn't works and keeps the last calculation done from the pluggin

are you sure its not the browser caching the form values?

the browser is not caching it, i checked before

What do you have "Calc on save only" set to?

For the PHP you gave, I'd recommend "Yes", which should solve issues of getting unexpected results when displaying forms / lists.

I'll check on that issue you reported with Reset on a form.

thanks cheesegrits.
i'd set "NO" in "Calc on save only", the problem was solved when i changed to "Yes" but i need to show the age instantly when someone type his date of birth.
for now i just set "yes" in "Calc on save only", but, exist another way to do it without set "yes"?. i mind, could you suggest another code?

great!

good news!
i've right cheesegrits, if set yes to "Calc on save only", the ajax pluggin still working!
here is my settings if someone else wants to use it.
