Has anyone written some code to calculate a persons age based on their date of birth?
Hi James
I''ve been using this in my model. The field in the database is called
"birthday" creative I know ;)
def age
the_date = Time.now
if the_date.month < birthday.month or
(the_date.month == birthday.month and the_date.day <
birthday.day )
the_date.year - birthday.year - 1
else
the_date.year - birthday.year
end
end
If anyone can see any issues with this please let me know.
thanx

((Date.today - birthday).to_i)/365 will give you the age in years.
