here is where i need help:

public playerMenuHanler( client, menu, item )
{
	/*	
	if( item < 0 )  
	{
		menu_cancel( client );
		show_menu( client, 0, "^n", 1 );
		
		return 1;
	}
	*/
	
	new szCmd[ 3 ], iAccess, iCallback;
	
	menu_item_getinfo( menu, item, iAccess, szCmd, charsmax( szCmd ), _,_, iCallback );
	
	new szData[ MAX_LENGTH ], szArrayData[ 4 ][ MAX_LENGTH ];
	
	ArrayGetString( g_aBannedList, str_to_num( szCmd ), szData, charsmax( szData ) );
	
	parse( szData, szArrayData[ 0 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 1 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 2 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 3 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ) );
	
	new szMenu[ MAX_LENGTH ];
	
	new iBanTime = str_to_num( szArrayData[ 1 ] );
	new iTimeStamp = str_to_num( szArrayData[ 2 ] );
	new actualTime = (iTimeStamp - iBanTime);
	
	new iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds;
	GetRemainingTime(  actualTime, iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds );
	
	new victim = find_player( "ch", szArrayData[0] );
	
	if( !strcmp( szArrayData[ 1 ], "PERM" ) )
		formatex( szMenu, charsmax( szMenu ), "\wPlayer Name: \y%s \r|| \wPlayer SteamID: \y%s^n\wBan Duration: \yPERMANENTLY \r|| \wPlayer Status: \y%s\r", szArrayData[3], szArrayData[0], is_user_connected( victim ) ? "ONLINE" : "OFFLINE" );
	else
		formatex( szMenu, charsmax( szMenu ), "\wPlayer Name: \y%s \r|| \wPlayer SteamID: \y%s^n\wBan Duration: \y%d \whours \y%d \wminutes \y%d \wseconds^n\wPlayer Status: \y%s\r", szArrayData[3], szArrayData[0], iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds, is_user_connected( victim ) ? "ONLINE" : "OFFLINE" );
	
	new subMenu = menu_create( szMenu, "subBanned" );
	
	menu_additem( subMenu, "\yUnban Player\r" );
	menu_additem( subMenu, "\yChoose Other Player\r" );
	menu_setprop( subMenu, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_NEVER );
	
	menu_display( client, subMenu ); 
	
	return 1;
}

i have to calculate the remaining time but i have no idea how to calculate it properly, i forgot everything about amxx coding.. please help me to calculate remaining time.

It depends on how the data is stored. If you store the expiration time (the most efficient way to go about it) then you simply subtract the expiration timestamp from the current timestamp (get_systime()). If you store the timestamp when the ban started then you simply need to add the ban length to that timestamp to get the expiration timestamp and then do the same as sated previously.

E.g.

ExpirationTimestamp = BanStartTimestamp + BanLength
SecondRemainig = ExpirationTimestamp - get_systime()

tried your way but menu shows 2 hours instead of decreasing the time

public playerMenuHanler( client, menu, item )
{
	/*	
	if( item < 0 )  
	{
		menu_cancel( client );
		show_menu( client, 0, "^n", 1 );
		
		return 1;
	}
	*/
	
	new szCmd[ 3 ], iAccess, iCallback;
	
	menu_item_getinfo( menu, item, iAccess, szCmd, charsmax( szCmd ), _,_, iCallback );
	
	new szData[ MAX_LENGTH ], szArrayData[ 4 ][ MAX_LENGTH ];
	
	ArrayGetString( g_aBannedList, str_to_num( szCmd ), szData, charsmax( szData ) );
	
	parse( szData, szArrayData[ 0 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 1 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 2 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ), szArrayData[ 3 ], charsmax( szArrayData[] ) );
	
	new szMenu[ MAX_LENGTH ];
	
	new ExpirationTimestamp = ( str_to_num( szArrayData[ 2 ] ) + str_to_num( szArrayData[ 1 ] ) );
	
	client_print( client, print_chat, "%d", ExpirationTimestamp );
	
	new SecondRemaining = ( get_systime() - ExpirationTimestamp );
	
	client_print( client, print_chat, "%d", SecondRemaining );
	
	new iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds;
	GetRemainingTime( SecondRemaining, iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds );
	
	new victim = find_player( "ch", szArrayData[0] );
	
	if( !strcmp( szArrayData[ 1 ], "PERM" ) )
		formatex( szMenu, charsmax( szMenu ), "\wPlayer Name: \y%s \r|| \wPlayer SteamID: \y%s^n\wBan Duration: \yPERMANENTLY \r|| \wPlayer Status: \y%s\r", szArrayData[3], szArrayData[0], is_user_connected( victim ) ? "ONLINE" : "OFFLINE" );
	else
		formatex( szMenu, charsmax( szMenu ), "\wPlayer Name: \y%s \r|| \wPlayer SteamID: \y%s^n\wBan Duration: \y%d \whours \y%d \wminutes \y%d \wseconds^n\wPlayer Status: \y%s\r", szArrayData[3], szArrayData[0], iHours, iMinutes, iSeconds, is_user_connected( victim ) ? "ONLINE" : "OFFLINE" );
	
	new subMenu = menu_create( szMenu, "subBanned" );
	
	menu_additem( subMenu, "\yUnban Player\r" );
	menu_additem( subMenu, "\yChoose Other Player\r" );
	menu_setprop( subMenu, MPROP_EXIT, MEXIT_NEVER );
	
	menu_display( client, subMenu ); 
	
	return 1;
}

here how data is stored

"STEAM_0:0:300995351" "3600" "1699879112" "TEST NAME"
"STEAM_0:0:300995352" "PERM" "1699879112" "TEST NAME2"
"STEAM_0:0:300995353" "PERM" "1699879112" "TEST NAME3"
"STEAM_0:0:300995354" "PERM" "1699879112" "TEST NAME4"

problem solved, thanks to fysiks

What did you do to solve the issue? I see issues with your code that you posted. "get_systime() - ExpirationTimestamp" will give a negative number if the player is still banned.

new iBanTime = str_to_num( szArrayData[ 1 ] );
new iPassedTime = ( get_systime() - str_to_num( szArrayData[ 2 ] ) );
new iRemainingTime = ( iBanTime - iPassedTime );

[fysiks]

Ah ok, that's exactly the same as what I wrote above.

BanStartTimestamp = str_to_num(szArrayData[2])
iRemainingTime = (iBanTime + BanStartTimestamp) - get_systime()

where

ExpirationTimestamp = (iBanTime + BanStartTimestamp)
