PHP - Time Zone Problem

By using the function date_default_timezone_set() I am trying to set my timezone. Do I have to change anything else in any other files like php.ini?

Are time zones when calling the date function automatically decided based on where you live? Or is that something that I have to implement--Because the time is wrong according to my time zone.

I have all the dates stored in my database as UTC and I want to retrieves these UTC date/time to show the local time zone. So, example, If I live in New York, I want it to show east coast time zone and not the Universal Time. Any idea?

Purpose: To get time zone of a remote file in my time zone. I have to download a file daily (mp3, don't worry its legal!) from BBC. Problem is that sometimes BBC doesn't update the file and i have to download entire file to check if it has been updated or not. Hence i decided to code a page that gives me date and time of that remote file. I have successfully compiled the code (that i got from internet). But the time returns in EST. I want the time in IST (indian std time Asia/Calcutta). CURLINFO_FILETIME has bee used. Below is code.

Pls suggest me how to convert EST to IST - Warning: I am a newbie. But i can follow instructions

Code: [Select]
<?php
$curl = curl_init('http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/hindi/tx/32mp3/din_bhar.mp3');

//don't fetch the actual page, you only want headers
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);

//stop it from outputting stuff to stdout
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// attempt to retrieve the modification date
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true);

$result = curl_exec($curl);

if ($result === false) {
    die (curl_error($curl)); 
}

$timestamp = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME);
if ($timestamp != -1) { //otherwise unknown
    echo "BBC Hindi was last modified" . date("d-m-Y h:i:s A T", $timestamp); //etc
} ?>


I have used it with custom getRemoteFileSize function he -
Code: [Select]

Hello Everyone,

I am on windows server and In my ini file server time zone declared as below

[server_settings]
date.timezone = "Europe/London"

but my application installed on another timezone eg: 'America/Los_Angeles' time zone.

using date_default_timezone_get() i am always getting Europe/London timezone as it's declared in ini file. How to get local timezone(wherever application is installed) here?

Thanks Krish

Hi..


I got an issue in getting the total time.

I have this code to get the sum of total time:

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO payroll.casual_hours(EMP_NO, Hours) SELECT EMP_NO, sec_to_time(SUM(time_to_sec(Rendered))) FROM payroll.casual_att WHERE DATE_FORMAT(LOGOUT, '%W') IN ('Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday') GROUP BY EMP_NO") or die(mysql_error());

Rendered:
09:00:00
09:00:00
09:00:00
08:00:00
08:00:00
07:48:00

and the result of this is 50:48

but I need result is 50:80

the minutes is divided to 60

Is there any way to get the 50:80 result.


Thank you so much..

Hi,

I'm preparing a code for an automated email, but the date time is not working correctly. I wanted to do a cron scheduler that emails people twice a day - 9am and 9pm. 9am sends email about records logged starting 9pm yesterday to 9am, while 9pm sends email about records logged from 9:01am to 9:00pm. The database uses date/time, so I was doing an if statement of date time, but I wasn't getting the result I wanted.

Sometimes the $now time is not within the yesterday 9pm to the 9pm today range. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm sure that it has something to do with the if statement, as the some of the $now time enters the else statement

Here is my code:


<?php
$today = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00');
$nineyesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(date("H") - (date("H") + 6), date("i") - date("i"), date("s") - date("s"), date("m") , date("d"), date("Y")));
$now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(date("H") + 13, date("i"), date("s"), date("m") , date("d"), date("Y")));
$nineam = date('Y-m-d 09:00:00');
$nine30 = date('Y-m-d 09:30:00');
$ninepm = date('Y-m-d 18:00:00');
echo '9pm yesterday: '.$nineyesterday;
echo '<br/>';
echo '9am: '.$nineam;
echo '<br/>';
echo '9pm: '.$ninepm;
echo '<br/>';
echo 'now: '.$now;
echo '<br/>';


if ((strtotime($now) > strtotime($nineyesterday)) and  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($nineam)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
echo 'am';

}
elseif ((strtotime($now) > strtotime($nineam)) and  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($ninepm)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
echo 'pm';
}
else
{
echo 'error';
}
?>


Thanks in advance

ok so im wondering if you all could prob fix this code its not working and when "meta"when it refreshes the page nothing deletes

Hi - I have been searching for a way to select the stored time from a database (stored in 24h format - 13:20:00) and display it as 12h format. I have checked a number of forums and nothing quite seems to fit the bill. I would like it to display as 2:00pm, 12:00am, etc. Here is what I have so far:

  $sql = ('SELECT * FROM events WHERE active="1" AND event_date >= CURRENT_DATE AND MONTH(event_date) = 1 order by event_date ASC, event_start ASC');
  $result = mysql_query($sql);
  $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
 
  // Yes Item
  if (!($num_rows == 0)) {
   $myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result);
   echo ('<span class="bold" style="font-size:14px">January</span>');
   do {
     printf ('<span>Event Time: %s', $myrow['event_start']);
        if ($myrow['event_end'] != '') {
        printf (' to %s', $myrow['event_end']);
        }
   }
   while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result));
  } 

Right now this just shows the regular 24h format (hh:mm:ss) for any events in the month of January. I would like both "event_start" and "event_end" to show up in 12h format. I have tried a number of things but none of it works. I'm SURE it is something simple that I have missed. Thanks in advance for any help.

So the code works right, (I think)  but for some reason the way I built it the logic comes back null.

I can do All w a specific shift/s, and All with department/s but I can't do All shifts and All departments
it doesn't' error either, just brings back nothing, maybe timing out?


I'm very new at this so I apologize in advance.

Okay here's the simple thing I'm trying to do. I have a time in a db on my server .. let's say its March 1st 2011 at 12:00AM. This time is dynamically set by the server, so it's on server time.  Now, lets say today is Feb 28th 2011 at 12:00AM on the server. I'm trying to write a dynamic script that will count down that time .. in this case I would want to show 23:59:59.

Every count down script i've found online gives me an option to use local time (browser) or server time. Each time i plug in server time it is always set to my browse time ... I echo everything out and I basically get this:

Server time: Feb 28th 2011 at 12:00AM
My browser time: Feb 28th 2011 at 2:00AM
Script time remaining: 21:59:59

So why does this keep happening? When I echo the date() from the server it's always 2 hours ahead of my time but the script never adjusts. Any ideas or does anyone know of a good working script?

I'm on eastern time and the server is on pacific.

Here's my last try, you'll see I place the php date into this towards the bottom but I've also tried jquery and SSI methods too.

Hi guys i am facing a problem in my php code and i dont know how to figure out so i search on google and i have started searching for a php forums and i found this community.

The problem is i made three pages in page1 i create a simple form with one text field and add two buttons one name is "add more fields" and one is "submit" when i click on add more fields button a text field is generate by using javascript functions. Let say i create 3 fields and enter names and submit the form by having form action "page2"

In page2 i just simply get all values i entered in fields and print them on screen and also there is a link of "page3" that says edit your information and the session is start. In "page3" i made changes to values and submit them again again. Its all working. But i i also want "add more fields" button in page3 so that i can generate more fields also on page3 and this this the point where i stucked and i didn't figure out how can i do this task to create add more fields button.

Can you guys help me in this regard thanks.

Ok first of all I want to apologize for asking what I'm about to ask. I understand it should be some stupidly easy to find mistake but considering the fact I have to send the code tomorrow leaves me with little to no time to try and find the solution so I'll be asking here and hope that by the time I wake up tomorrow an answer will be here and I'll be able to resume scripting.

So my problem is that I just can't find how to make php commands run at all. I tried just randomly inserting them into my html code then found out it needs a separate file. So I created the basic.php with this code:
<html>
<body>

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
<div>adgaeganerhaohn</div>

</body>
</html>
tried opening it through a form in my html code but it wouldn't print the Hello world line, then I tried running it straight into firefox but I only got adgaeganerhaohn again (without that line I get a white page) So I need to know what am I doing wrong?

I have php5.301 installed with default options (no server).

thanks for your help beforehand, once I get a bit more into php I'll be coming back with serious questions but for now I really need someone to tell me how php is supposed to work and what I'm doing wrong

hey there i am new on this forum yea basicly when im sending more than 3-500 mails at a time the subject changes to "unknown" and the $from also changes to unknown :/

could anyone explain this ? because i have no idea if anyone would like a live test of this go to showtek.net23.net its on a 000webhost ik its just temprarily for testing

$headers = "From:" . $from;

$myFile = "mails.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = $myfile;
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

$email_list = file("mails.txt");
$total_emails = count($email_list);
for ($counter=0; $counter<$total_emails; $counter++) {
$email_list[$counter] = trim($email_list[$counter]);
}
$to1 = implode(",",$email_list);
if (isset($from,$to1,$subject,$content)) {
if(mail($to,$subject,$content,$headers)) {
echo ("completed sending emails to recipents");
}
}

?>
