Ah, ok Jim, I see now what you are trying to do. Sorry I didn't understand the first time. Try this:

Code:: echo date('l F jS, Y', get_user_option('wp_s2member_auto_eot_time', $user_id));

I hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick reply! Just took a look, and this seems to work for PHP inside an s2 shortcode, but what I need is the reverse, i.e. shortcode supplies date inside Unix to PHP date function, e.g. "Your membership expires on ." I can insert a literal Unix date in the above and it works fine, but the shortcode generates errors.

Thanks,

Jim

converting unix timestamps in shortcode

2011-06-04T00:16:10-05:00

I want to convert the EOT timestamp into a normal date, ideally using shortcode to keep it simple. In another thread, you alluded to the possibility of converting a UNIX timestamp via PHP; can this work in conjunction with an s2 shortcode on a page?

I'm new to this, but it looks like in order to execute PHP within a WP page we need to use a plugin such as Shortcode Exec PHP. The PHP side of it is pretty simple, but can one execute a shortcode inside another shortcode in WordPress? I'd appreciate a simple example using

[s2Get user_option="s2member_auto_eot_time" /]

as my PHP script is not quite working yet. (I've got this nested inside an [s2If] statement.)

Thanks!

Jim
