PHP - Get Timestamp From Every Rss Feed

Hi,

I have in my DB a column with a timestamp as definition.
Now I would like to have only the month and year of that column for further use in a form.

How can I achieve that?

Thanks!

How do i correctly update a timestamp?
Code: [Select]
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

mysql_query("UPDATE mmembers set time=now() where email=$myusername");

I need to set two variables for use within my pages, one containing a date as a string in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS' and another containing the same date as a timestamp.

The date and time stored will take on the value passed in the url if available, else will be for the current date.  The time should always be midnight at the beginning of the date.

eg.  $datestr = '2010-09-08 00:00:00'  and  $datestamp = '1283904000'

Where a date is passed in the url, it will be in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

The problem I am having is getting an accurate timestamp.  I think the trouble is connected to the handling of daylight saving time as it it always an hour out.  What I have at the present is as below:

Code: [Select]
<?php
// ensure all date and time functions are relative to the correct timezone (UK)
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

// string holding selected / current date in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
$datestr = (isset($_GET['date']) ? $_GET['date']." 00:00:00" : gmdate("Y-m-d")." 00:00:00");

// int holding selected / current date as unix timestamp
$datestamp = strtotime($datestr);
?>

Can anybody give me a simple way of converting $datestr into $datestamp to ensure that this is always correct for my UK timezone, irrespective of whether we are in or out of daylight saving time?

upon using PHP strtotime('2010-11-23 00:00:00') output a different values.

Asia/Taipei
int(1290441600)

Europe/London
int(1290470400)

Expected : Same since I declare the date that need to convert as timestamp


date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Taipei');
var_dump(strtotime('2010-11-23 00:00:00'));

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
var_dump(strtotime('2010-11-23 00:00:00'));



Any explanation, Idea or alternative?

Please help. Thanks

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

My issue is if I'm given a time stamp in PHP how could I calculate the number of days until that time stamp?.

Thanks for your time.

I have a timestamp field in my mySQL table and need to check if it's 14 day or older.  What's the best way to do this?

Any help will be appreciated

I'm using date_default_timezone_set("America/New_York"); to set the time, but the time isn't being displayed properly in mysql.  The time is some other time zone. 

Do I have to set the time in mysql too?  How do I do this?

I have a little problem with creating a timestamp and display it again with date ()
Here is a small shript:
<?php
   $day = 6;
   $month = 7;
   $year = 1985;
   $ts = mktime($month, $day, $year);
   echo date("d-m-Y",$ts);
?>

In my world would result in 6-7-1985
but instead I get 06-11-2010

Why .. what am I doing wrong?

I've been having problems displaying the correct time when extracting timestamp for a graph. Wasted a lot of time trying to adjust for timezone and then finding that it didn't help. Now trying to add 2 hours to the timestamp and not sure how. Here is the line that needs to be changed I believe. $Date=substr(mysql_result($result,$i,"Date"),11,5);  Can someone help me?

any one know of any scripts to archive news items by timestamp?
google searches just show tonnes of news archives.. not what i want!

obviously using php, all news items have a timestamp, how would i go about this? very open ended question but ANY help would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

hey guys I wanting some information on the best way to store a timestamp and how I would convert that timestamp to another timezone please?   im guessing I would firstly store all timestamps to the database in GMT OR BST then convert after according to users timezone preference?   Is there a good website for this please on how this is possible...thank you

im having problem comparing timestamps in my where clause for some strange reason...my query works perfect but when adding WHERE it doesn't bring up a result although it should...I've been playing about with it for almost a day now...and it doesn't make sense

unix_timestamp values

start_date_time   1406411505 
end_date_time     1407275505
now               1406461573

my query

SELECT i.item_id, 
		         i.title, 
		         i.price,
		         @start_date_time := CONVERT_TZ(i.start_date_time, '+00:00', u.time_zone),
		         @end_date_time := DATE_ADD(@start_date_time, INTERVAL 10 DAY),
		         @end_date_time AS `end_date_time`
		  FROM items i
		  LEFT JOIN sub_categories sc ON sc.sub_category_id = i.sub_category_id
		  LEFT JOIN categories c ON c.category_id = sc.category_id
		  JOIN users u ON username = 'Destramic'
		  WHERE UNIX_TIMESTAMP(@start_date_time) < UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()) 
		  AND UNIX_TIMESTAMP(@end_date_time) >= UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW())

if anyone can diagnose my problem I'd it would be much appreciated  

I need some help. I have this script that pulls timestamps from the database. What I want to do is create a count of how many of those timestamps that were returned were from the morning(6am-12pm), Afternoon (12pm-6pm), Evening (6pm-12am), or Night (12am-6am). How do I do I parse the timestamps to do that and display the count. Thanks!

I have a column that is named date_created and has a value of DATETIME. How on this script can I  insert only the time it was created. Is it NOW()) and if so how do I write it in the script? Code: [Select]
// if residential
if($_POST['type'] == ""){
mysql_select_db("", $con);
$sql = "INSERT INTO apartments (username, title, county, town, type, description, phone, rooms, bath, square, rent, fees, service, imageurl1, imageurl2, imageurl3, imageurl4) VALUES ('".$myusername."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['county'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['town'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['type'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone'])."', '".$_POST[('rooms')]."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['bath'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['square'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['rent'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fees'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['service'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[1])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[2])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[3])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[4])."')";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

Hi, I have a MySQL table with a timestamp field. I want this field to be automatically updated with the current date and time when a record is updated.
How do I do that?
This is my update query. Thanks:

client_alias='$client_alias',testimonial_date='$testimonial_date',order_ontime='$order_ontime',how_deal='$how_deal',order_condition='$order_condition',happy_colour='$happy_colour',colour_chosen='$colur_chosen',easy_use='$easy_use',effectiveness='$effectiveness',client_comments_eng='$client_comments_eng',client_comments_esp='$client_comments_esp',testimonial_updated_by='$testimonial_updated_by', _time_stamp='?????????'  WHERE id_testimonial='$colname_testimonials_update_RS'";

mysql_query($Sql) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error());
