I have a module I am working on that revolves around our Call of Duty clan. I have made a member profile page that in two of the cells I want to display Time in Service (TIS), and Time in Grade (TIG).

TIS is time served from date of enlistment which in the roster_members table is enlistment_dt to todays date or Getdate() and properly formated into something like 1 Year 3 Months.

TIG is time served from last promotion which in the roster_members table is promotion_dt to the current date.

The code to display TIS in my profile page is as follows:

<td width="12%\" align=\"right\">" 
  . "                     <b><font color=\"#660033\">Time in Service:</font></b>" 
  . "                  </td>" 
  . "                  <td width=\"15%\" colspan=\"2\">" 
  . "                     <p class=\"content\">$info[tis]" 
  . "                  </td>"



Displaying TIG is identical to TIS.

Now a thread I had in PHPBuilder was answered and I was given the following code.

$newestDate= strtotime(date("M d, Y"));
$oldestDate= $info[enlistment_dt];
$daysElapsed=round((strtotime($newestDate) - strtotime($oldestDate))/(60*60*24)-1);
$yrsElapsed=floor($daysElapsed/365);
$monthsLeftOver=floor(($daysElapsed-($yrsElapsed*365))/30);
"<HR>Years:".$yrsElapsed." months:".$monthsLeftOver;


I used the following code earlier in my code to gather the enlistment_dt and display it in the profile page but also want to use enlistment_dt when computing the TIS and TIG.

$result = $db->sql_query("SELECT *, date_format(enlistment_dt,'%e %b %Y') as enlistment_dt FROM roster_members WHERE uniqueid ='$uniqueid'");
$info = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


I am having trouble understanding this and implementing it into my profile page to see if TIS works. This code displays Years:-35 months:9

Replace the following code:
$newestDate= strtotime(date("M d, Y"));

Into:
$newestDate= date("j F Y");

Thanks.

What is the best way to duplicate this and show this

echo "<HR>Years:".$yrsElapsed." months:".$monthsLeftOver;

in my code.

<td width=\"12%\" align=\"right\">"
  . "                     <b><font color=\"#660033\">Time in Service:</font></b>"
  . "                  </td>"
  . "                  <td width=\"15%\" colspan=\"2\">"
  . "                     <p class=\"content\">$info[tis]"
  . "                  </td>"
  . "                  <td width=\"15%\" align=\"right\">"
  . "                     <b><font color=\"#660033\">Time in Grade:</font></b>"
  . "                  </td>"
  . "                  <td width=\"46%\" colspan=\"3\">"
  . "                     <p class=\"content\">$info[tig]"
  . "                  </td>"


For both Time in Service and Time in Grade. I have tried several times for TIS but keep coming up with errors.
