I've encountered an unusual issue with my PHP web application. I have structured it to be modular, breaking down the code into smaller files to keep it manageable. The app serves as a fund application management system for a nonprofit organization, and one problematic module calculates and displays the number of business hours since an application was submitted.
This specific "time" module is utilized in various sections of the application. While it functions correctly in most instances, there is one area where it fails to execute properly, instead displaying the number "12". Is this potentially due to my code being too complex, causing PHP to exceed its memory limits?
The "time" module:
<?php
/* Time Module
Added for Version: 1.1
Last Updated: 10/11/2012
*/
$timeSince = time() - (int)$item['timestamp']; //Calculate seconds between current time and submission
$timeSince = $timeSince / 60 / 60; //Convert seconds to hours
$timeSince = round($timeSince); //Round up or down
if( //Set color to green within review timeframe
($timeSince <= 12 && $item['appStatus']=="0") ||
($timeSince <= 48 && $item['appStatus']=="1") ||
($timeSince <= 72 && $item['appStatus']=="2")
)
$timeColor="#090";
elseif( //Highlight yellow if slightly behind
($timeSince <= 24 && $item['appStatus']=="0") ||
($timeSince <= 60 && $item['appStatus']=="1") ||
($timeSince <= 84 && $item['appStatus']=="2")
)
$timeColor="#F90";
else //Red if far behind
$timeColor="#F33";
?>
Submitted: <?php echo date("F j, Y", $item['timestamp']) ?><br>
<?php if($item['appStatus']=="0" || $item['appStatus']=="1" || $item['appStatus']=="2") { ?>
<span style="color:<?php echo $timeColor ?>"><?php echo $timeSince ?></span> Hours Since Submission
<?php } ?>
Location in the code where the file is included (under action buttons):
<div style="float:right; padding:10px; text-align:right;">
<?php if(isset($includePrefix)) { ?>
<a href="appAssets/print.php?id=<?php echo $_GET['id'] ?>" target="_blank">
<img src="appAssets/print.png" alt="Print This Application" align="middle" title="Print This Application" /></a>
<a href="mailto:<?php echo $item['agencyEmail'] ?>">
<img src="appAssets/email.png" alt="Email Agency" align="middle" title="Email Agency" /></a>
<?php if(!$hide) { ?>
<a href="#" id="disbursementLink">
<img src="appAssets/dollar.png" alt="Disbursment Instructions" align="middle" title="Disbursement Instructions" /></a>
<?php } ?>
<br />
<?php } ?>
<?php include_once("time.php") ?>
</div>
