PHP - Expiration Month And Data Type

Hi..

I need help in getting the 3 Months Name from my table field FromMonth and ToMonth.
Here is the scenario.

First, I select FromMonth and ToMonth.
Ex.
FromMonth = 5
ToMonth = 7
So it means
FromMonth is May
ToMonth is July.

Now I save the MonthNumber to my database:

table- so_month
FromMonth = 5
ToMonth = 7

Now I need to get the between Months Name from FromMonth to ToMonth which are (May, June, July).

How does it possible?
Thank you so much.

Hi Masters,   I'll be making a big ticketing program with PHP and I cant decide what data type to use.   Thanks, Marvin

Is this proper PHP...

    function setHeat(Building $b) {
        $this->hotness = $b->getInsideHeat();
    }

That looks more like Java to me.  I thought you didn't define data-types anywhere in PHP?!

Coming from the world of Excel, I can easily format numbers as $1,500.00, or 27%.  When I uploaded a large chunk of data into SQL to be read back through a table, the values all come out as exactly what they were uploaded as.  For example, I have an SQL column set as Decimal(19,4) that I want formatted like currency, but which shows up as 1500.0000 in my table, or another column with type decimal(5,2) which shows up as 5500.0000, but which I want to show up as 55%.  How do I do this?

I am using a query to select everything out of a table in to an array. I have 4 fields as follows name, email, comment and datatime. What i want to do is use one of the stated function to grab the datetime elements and split them at the break point, but i am displaying more than one record with in the table, i think this is were i am fucking up.

for example i tryied this:
Code: [Select]
                $commentsTable = "comments";
            $comments = "SELECT * FROM  $commentsTable";
$commentResults = mysql_query($comments);
$commentRows = mysql_fetch_array($commentResults);

$dateTimeSplit = explode(" ", $commentRows['datetime']);

               
               <?php while($commentRows = mysql_fetch_array($commentResults)){?>
    <div id="comments">
    <div id="CommentWrapper">
            <div id="comment">
                <div id="UserComment"><? echo $commentRows['comment'];?></div>
                 // here is were am having the problem!!!
                <div id="PostDateTime"><i>Posted: </i><? echo $dateTimeSplit['0'];?><i> Time: </i><? echo $dateTimeSplit['1'];?></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
<?php } mysql_close(); ?>

any sudgestions?

Hello all,

I just created this function that I want to use in CLi mode. It works perfectly in regular browser mode, but gives me this error on Cli mode if I do convertToCamelCaps('TEST STRING');

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Argument 1 passed to convertToCamelCaps() must be an instance of string, string given in file...


if (!function_exists('convertToCamelCaps')) {
function convertToCamelCaps(string $string, $initialCaps=FALSE) {
if ($words = explode(' ',$string)) {
foreach ($words as $index => &$word) {
$word = strtolower($word);
if($index==0 && $initialCaps===FALSE) { continue; }
$word = ucwords($word);
}
return implode('',$words);
}
return FALSE; 
}
}


If I remove the string datatype requirement in the function before the function argument list, it works fine in CLi mode.

When a cookie expires what happens to it?

Hi everyone,   My googling seems to have found an way to add x days to the current date, and I'm sure that finding x days from a date pulled from my database must be pretty similar, but I just can't seem to get it working.   My task involves teachers setting notifications which are displayed for a number of days designated by the teacher.   So when the teacher creates the notiication, the `notificatin_date` field is updated with the timestamp.  The `notification_duration` field is an integer between 1 and 21.   I can get this info out of the database without problem:

$notification_set  = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($notification['notification_date']));
			   $notification_duration = $notification['notification_duration'];
			   echo $notification_duration . "<br/>";
			     echo  $notification_set . "<br/>";

However, when I try and add the duration to the date when the notification was set, to echo the expiry date, I run in to problems. This is what I've got at the current time, but I'm obviously not 'adding' $notification_duration and $notification_set correctly in the first line below, which is causing all my problems. Any help is much appreciated.

	$expiration_date = $notification_set + strtotime($notification_duration . "days");
			   
			   if ($expiration_date> date)
			   {
				echo "Your notification will expire on ";   
			   }
			   else if ($expiration_date < date)
			   {
				echo "Your notification expired on ";   
			   }
			   else echo "Your notification expires today ";
			   
			   
			   echo   date('jS', strtotime($expiration_date));
			echo " of ";
	echo date('F', strtotime($expiration_date));
				echo ", ";
	echo date('Y', strtotime($expiration_date));   

Thanks for your time, Dave          

is there anyway to prevent a sessions from expiring to soon.   I believe they are 20 minute sessions, correct.  Even if they are not 20 min. is there a way to prevent it from happening?

Is it possible to make curl set the expiration date on cookies?

I don't see that the expiration date has been set using the ordinary settings, and I have a problem with a forum using the expiration date to see if the session has expired.

I've been looking for a function or a couple of functions which will allow me to get the Certificate Expiration date for a given website. I've tried openSSL, but their functions only seem to work on the current server, which is useless to me because my server doesn't allow SSL or certificates. I just want the certificate of an external website, e.g. www.gna.org has a certificate (signed by themselves, but a certificate nonetheless).
I've also tried cURL, since that allows you to access a remote server, but that will just check their certificate - it doesn't offer any functionality for e.g. checking when it will expire.

This seems like a simple enough question, but I haven't found anything about it anywhere, so I'm asking here.

Thanks a bunch in advance,

Hello,

I am having trouble setting a cookie with a future expiration. I am using PHP Version 5.1.6.

Here is my code:

$expire = time() + 60*60*24*30; // 30 days
setcookie("TestCookie",$value, $expire);

The cookie gets set, however, the cookie is not persistent and expires when I close my browser. This should not be the case but should expire in 30 days.

The time() is correct on the server.

Here is the raw http headers:

Status: HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date:   Sat, 26 Mar 2011 15:12:27 GMT   
Server:   Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)   
X-Powered-By:   PHP/5.1.6   
Set-Cookie:   TestCookie=my+cookie+value; expires=Mon, 25-Apr-2011 15:12:27 GMT   
Content-Length:   126   
Connection:   close   
Content-Type:   text/html; charset=UTF-8

However, when I open Firefox or Chrome they both say that the cookie will expire when I close the browser. I know that my browser is accepting cookies properly because I see other cookies from other websites in the cookie list that expire with future dates.

I've tried setting a cookie in the future with javascript and it works fine, like the following:

$jsExpire = date("D, j M Y H:i:s e", $expire);
echo "
<script>
<!--//
document.cookie =
'jscookie=testcookie; expires=$jsExpire; path=/'
//--></script>
";

However, when still trying to set the cookie (before headers are sent which is how php operates), php fails to set the cookie properly.

Is there any kind of setting in php ini that could effect cookie expiration dates?

Obviously it's not a browser problem since I can set cookies correctly with javascript but not php.

I even tried sending cookie with header() like this and it doesn't set in the futu

header("Set-Cookie: TestCookie=my+cookie+value; expires=Mon, 25-Apr-2011 17:26:45 GMT; path=/; domain=.mydomain.com");

Any help appreciated.

Hi,   I want to set two expiration dates in a form.  Prior to the fall deadline, options A, B, C are displayed.  After the fall date has passed, only A and B will be displayed.  This works beautifully:

<?php
//SET THE TIME ZONE
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
 
//CREATE TIMESTAMP VARIABLES
$current_ts  = time();
$fall_deadline_ts = mktime(0,0,0,9,1,2014);
$winter_deadline_ts = mktime(0,0,0,12,1,2014);
 
//IF THE FALL DEADLINE HAS PASSED
if($current_ts > $fall_deadline_ts) {
     echo "a, b";
} else {
     echo "a, b ,c";
}
?>

How can I tweak this so that after the Winter deadline has ALSO passed, it will only display A, rather than A, B?   Thanks!

hi there,

i am fairly new to OOPs in php, i get an error when i declare the argument type (as object) in a function and pass the same type (object).



class eBlast {
       public static function getEmail(object $result) {
           return $result->email;
       }
}

$r = mysql_fetch_object($query);
eBlast::getEmail($r);

echo gettype($r); // outputs: object



error is :

Code: [Select]
Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to eBlast::getEmail() must be an instance of object, instance of stdClass given, called in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\admin\send_emails.php on line 145 and defined in C:\wamp\www\integra\client\pl_eblast\app\app.eBlast.php on line 8
if i remove the type declaration in the function it works, but just would like to know why it shows error when pass the same type, also isnt mysql_fetch_object is the instance of stdclass?

thanks in advance!
