Hi,

I have some cached pages and I want to display how long ago certain
articles were written.

But how can I display "This article was written 'yyy days' ago" when
the whole page is cached?

I cannot do a simple search and replace as I would need to know when
the articles were written to compare them with the current time, (I
have more than one article with different dates saved in the pages).

I was thinking of tags, something like '<%article date=xxxxx>'.
And preg_replace( "/<%article date=(xxx)>/", ('yyyy'), $data );

But how can I use the 'xxx' to calculate the 'yyy'?

How else would you do it?

Many thanks

FFMG
