Hello All, 
  Need an advise in finishing this task please. 
 

function convertTimeFormat($time12Hour) {
// Initialized required variable to an empty string.
		$time24Hour = ""; 

// Used explode() function to break the string into an array and stored its value in $Split variable. 
		$Split = explode(":",$time12Hour); // print_r(explode (":", $time12Hour)); => Array ( [0] => 09 [1] => 50 [2] => 08AM )

// Retrieved only "hour" from the array and stored in $Hour variable. 
		$Hour = $Split[0];   

    $Split[2] = substr($Split[2],0,2);

// Used stripos() function to find the position of the first occurrence of a string inside another string.	
		if($Hour == '12' && strpos($time12Hour,"AM")!== FALSE) {
			// Code here

Hey PHPFreaks!

I'm designing an online application using OOP. This is by no means my first application, but it is using Object Oriented techniques, so I come to you helpful folks with a question.Essentially, I would like to be able to find out about recommended ways to approach page templates in a class design, as well as other general good class design practices specific to  server-side languages.

So, without further ado, what is considered a good/recommended method of approaching template design using OOP? For example, a base template class which can be extended for multiple themes, so additional themes don't have to recreate the core functionality if they decide not to change it. It seems that there are a lot of methods to approach it, which is why I'm here!

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,

I am currently making a website that has e-custom functions and a back end for the client.

I want them to be able to upload images - but they need to be transparent. I do not want to leave this in the hands of the client, so I am looking at ways of using the GD library to make the change

I got no issue with the png/gif type for upload/resize function since this type already transparent background but my major problems is how to deal with jpeg/jpg image type which is their background was not a transparent...so is it possible I can change/ convert to png/gif type upon successful of uploading image...so the new final image will be png/gif type with transparent background...is it doable...I am not even sure it is possible...?

Thanks for any help..

echo "<font color='000000'>No Service Found At<br /></font>"<font color='000000'> .long2ip($ip)</font>;

I'm trying to format a date to use in a mysql query and was wondering about the best way to do it.

the form returns: mm/dd/yyyy and I need to format it to yyyy-mm-dd, any help would be greatly appretitaed, thanks in advance!

I have a date field in the database table of this format 2012-02-08.
Now I want to select fields from the database where date >= $currentdate.
Do I have to do someting like
$currentdate=time();
//Then convert it into YYYY-MM-DD format?

Hi everyone

I have a column in an sql database which stores time in minutes.
I'm trying to turn these minutes into this kind of format:
  1:00pm
12:30am
  6:15pm

I looked on W3C and there was the %r which seemed to format this way but I cant get it to work >.<

Code: [Select]
$time1=$f3/60;
 $time2= date_format($f4, '%r');

Does anyone know how to achieve this? THANKS!!!

What is the name for this Array Format...

Code: [Select]
$resultsArray[] = array('questionID' => $questionID,
'question' => $question,
'answer' => $new_answer,
'DB_answer' => $old_answer,
'message' => $message[$q]);


And does this have anything to do with Object-Oriented Programming?!

Thanks,


Debbie

Hi Guys,

I'm sure i have done this before, is there a way to shorten dates like:

December 16, 2010 to Dec 16, 2010    

and

January 16, 2010 to Jan 16, 2010

etc, i have used $dateFormatted2 = date("F j, Y", strtotime($d2)); to get the date format i have now.

any help would be appreciated

thansk guys

Graham

how should this be formated right now it's just outputting .long2ip($ip)

'$playerlog admin logged into .long2ip($ip)' WHERE username='$player'")

What Date Format is this...
Code: [Select]
echo '<div class="date">Published: ' . date('F j, Y', strtotime($publishedOn)) . '</div>';
And where can I find a listing of the different Date and Time Formats that will work with this?

(I would like to display my date as "2012-02-26  2:40pm" for what it is worth...)

Thanks,


Debbie
