Check days between dates

Hey guys, so I'm trying to make a way for me to be able to see how old someone's account is, currently I got the following code:

    if(!timejoined) // No join time set, so we assume he's new.
        timejoined = time2text(world.timeofday, "DD,MM,YYYY")


Now that's great and all, but now I need to make a proc that counts how many days are between the timejoined variable and the current date. And I am not sure how to do that..

First, you'd want to store it as world.realtime, and not timeofday, timeofday is per-day, not forever.

Next you'll just want to subtract the timejoined from the current world.realtime, that'll give you how many tenths of a second since you created your character. Run that through some math and there ya go.

Yeah I'm awful at math and this especially, care to give me a nudge into the right direction?

I looked it up and found that this may be close to what I'm looking for: datejoined - world.realtime / 864000

1/10th of a second is 0.1
0.1 * 10 = 1 second
60 seconds in a minute * 10 = 600
600 x 60 minutes in an hour = 36,000
36,000 x 24 hours
= 864,000 per day.

So my code is correct and will work then?

Since division has a higher priority than subtraction, you would want parentheses around the difference:
days_since_joined = (world.realtime - datejoined) / 864000
// assuming "datejoined" was set to world.realtime when joined

Awesome, fixed some of my own stupidities and it seems to be functional, although is it correct that it is displaying "days old is -0.0148148" at the moment?

Oops, the subtraction should be flipped.

world.realtime is never going to be less than datejoined, so... yeah.
