PHP - How To Parse 'time()' To A Human Readable Format?

I have the time time now viewed as 17:11.
The time $Start_Time is 17:00. The time $End_time is 18:00.

Can I use this to check if time is in between starttime and endtime? Or do I have to convert it to other formats before it understand that I'm comparing it as times and not just numbers?

if($Start_Time < $Now_time && End_Time > $Now_time){
}

I'm trying to make $time be a variable with the current time and I want it to have the same format as mysql.  I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here

Wrror: Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, integer given

Code: [Select]
$time = date_format(time(),'Y-m-d H:i:s');

I used the following code to convert the length in seconds to min:second format
$sec=$duration % 60;
if ($sec=="0"){
$min=$duration/60;
$duration=''.$min.':00';
}else{
$min=(($duration-$sec)/60);
$duration=''.$min.':'.$sec.'';
}
everything is OK, but it shows 35:5 instead of 35:05. I mean it disregards the first 0 when the second is 1-digit. 

I want the current date to be displayed in this format:
year-month-day hr:min:sec
Suggest me some functions or codings

How can I format my time value (initially created by using time()) to ISO 8601 so it can be used in the format described he

Hi,

I'm trying to insert this

$inceptiondate = date("Y-m-d 12:00:00");

to the database, the Y-m-d does make it to database, but the 12:00pm doesn't.
Whenever it reaches the database, it becomes 00:00:00

Where did I got wrong?

Thanks

I am using this php to write to a text file to show me who has logged in and when:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$time = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];
$myusername = $_POST['myusername'];

$data = "$REQUEST_TIME\n";
$data = "$myusername\n";


//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a") ;

fwrite($fh, $data);
fwrite($fh, $time);
fclose($fh);

?>

The result I get in my text file is:

paul
1315919200melody
1315919221tracy&graham
1315919232ed&hannah
1315919251

I would feel more successful if the name of the user were to appear on the next line down but I can live with that but I can't make head nor tale of the date.

I want it to say:
paul
13:59
13/09/2011

next user
14:00
13/09/2011 and so on
I feel I have done very well to even get that far really and wouldn't have been able to yesterday. I am frustrated to have reached the extent of my current understanding.

If anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong, that would be great.

I hope the php isn't too far off, and you can "read between the lines" as it were to see what I'm trying to do.

Hi all,

I am working on my PHP script to set up the date with the time for the autoresponder so I can send out the emails at the specific time. I need some help with set up the correct day date with the time, because on my code when I have two different times `06:00` and `20:00`, as both of them will show the time with the current day date, e.g: 28-11-2019. I find that my code have set up the date as incorrect because the time I have `06:00` which it should have set up with the next day date, e.g 29-11-2019 instead of 28-11-2019 and the time `20:00` should set up with the current day date as my current time is `15:26pm` right now. 

Output for `$autoresponder_date`:

    2019-11-25 06:00
    2019-11-25 20:00

Output for `$get_time`:

    06:00
    20:00

Here is the code:

   

$auto_responders = $link->prepare('SELECT * FROM autoresponder WHERE campaign = ? ORDER BY id ASC');
    $auto_responders->execute([$campaign]);
    $auto_responders->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    $auto_responders = $auto_responders->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    $get_time = $auto_responders['send_time'];
    
    if ($get_time >= strtotime('00:00'))
    {
        $autoresponder_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($get_time . ' +1 day'));
    }
    else
    {
       $autoresponder_date = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($get_time));
    }
    $send_time = $autoresponder_date . ' '. date('H:i ', strtotime($get_time));

 

Can you please show me an example how I can set up the day date for the time `06:00` and `20:00` as if I have the time is `06:00` then check if the time have passed before I could do anything to send the email and it is the same for the time `20:00:00`? 

Thank you.

 

Hi,

I have noticed on my print order section in my cart that the date/time is in US format ie. there is an entry that calls up "date_purchased" and places this in the following format %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

I have searched all the text in my online shop and I have located the code i believe is responsible under \includes\classes\nusoap.php

This is in the following entry

return strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', $sec) . '.' . sprintf('%06d', $usec);

My question is can i change this code to either of the following without causing any damage else where in the site? I am not sure if it needs the %H:%M:%S', $sec entry here for anything???

Can i do..

return strftime ('%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S', $sec)

or

return strftime ('%d-%m-%Y )

without it causing issues in the code?

Many Thanks,

I have a field called date_time in the database which is of type datetime.
I have a form which on submit needs to enter the current date and time in the date_time field.
I know I can get the current time using time()
$time=time();
Can do I do some kind of manipulation using strtotime() and store in the database in  datetime format?

Is there any way to only log real visitors, and not get robots?

Hi,

I want to add another form field to determine if a user is human and not spam bots. I looked into CAPTCHA, but I think those are annoying. I was thinking about just having the user enter (5+5) and if the answer is not ten, then displaying a incorrect value message. If correct submit form and info to the Database. Not sure how to do that with what I currently have coded though so need some help with that part. Here is the current code.

Hello

We have a series of sites that use Google API to serve locations stored in local DB, that show google maps from within given PHP pages within our sites (these pages also have other db driven content we wish to keep....

Each 'member' in our sites,  they each have a google map shown on each page present for their 'location' menu tab...

These calls to the google map API,  often goes over our daily allotment of freebie map presentations from the google API

It is SE and other Bots that run these view numbers off the charts and prevent the google maps from loading the actual maps - we get a google map err message - advising that maximum views have been reached... (we see this in our server error logs)

Thoughts on how i can serve this map code to only legit http requests (human eyes)  or at least reduce the burden of bot crawl requests to the google API?

here is the code we use to call the maps

 - We need to encapsulate Google Map Display in a snippet that will block it from getting hit by bots....

Huge Thanks!

Code: [Select]
<form target="_blank" method="GET" action="http://maps.google.com/maps">
<input type="hidden" name="daddr" value="<? echo "$address, $city, $state $zip $country" ?>">
<?php display_tooltip("Please enter your starting point in the form address, city, state zip country or simply enter your city", "mapdir");?>
<input type="text" name="saddr" value="your starting point" onfocus=this.select()>
<input class="clickableL" type="submit" value="Map and Directions">
</form>

How do I write a bit of code to check if a file is NOT readable...and if (and only if) it is NOT readable (doesn't exist) , wget the file.

Here's what I tried...but it loops forever and ever...even if the file does exist.

Code: [Select]
$filename = "file.mp3";
while(!is_readable($filename))
  {
$url = "domain.com" . ".mp3";
echo system('wget '.escapeshellcmd($url));
echo system('sleep 30');
  }

?>

I Googled...and couldn't find the correct syntax for IS NOT READABLE.  Thanks!

Hi All,

Sometimes after some calculation php may return this:
1.02563125481E+54

But how to make this into 1 number without the E+ etc ?!

Cheers
