PHP - How To Get A Date From A Blog Post To Read Full Month, Date, And Year?

Start with: Saturday August 13 1978.  What is the next year that August 13th falls on a Saturday?

Couldn't find an answer to that anywhere!

Hi all,   I have a search page where I'd like members to be able to search for races that they and their friends have entered into a database. When entering the data, users put the race date into the race_date field (Which is a DATETIME field) in the table.   I've set up the search and display pages, so users can search by a number of other criteria (first name, last name, race distance, time, etc), but am having trouble with searching by year. On my search form, is a field called race_year.   So, obviously I need some change in the code below, specifically in relation to the line $where .= " AND race_date='$race_year'"; because I want to extract the year part of the race_date column from the table and see if it matches $race_year .   Any advice would be appreciated.   Cheers, Dave  

$race_year = $_POST['race_year'];
if ($race_year != '')
{ // A year is selected
  $where .= " AND race_date='$race_year'";
}

Hi guys, i was having an issue with dates and although it leans a bit more into MYSQL I was hoping i could get some help ive searched all over the net for this so I dont know if im not thinking on how to ask this correctly or can't find it, but ill be as detailed as possible and hope that helps.   Ok I have a table that shows when payment was received on past invoices dating back to say 1995;  The company processes 'ALL' invoices every month on the 9th, so if anything comes in from the first to the ninth it will be processed that month on the ninth.  If it comes in from the tenth to the thirtieth or thirty-first it will be processed the following month.   The table already has a "Received" date filed and now I want to create a column on the table called "Processed Date" (adding the column is no problem don't need help with that part) that shows me the date we processed the invoice.   I know i have to use the "Received" field (because it shows what day the invoice was put into the system) but im not sure how to format the "Processed Date" field, so say the "Received" field shows an invoice came in on  '1995-05-11', I want the "Processed Date" field to display it was payed on '1995-06-09' (notice that is the following month).   I thought i would put in a visual of what I was trying to do below:   So if I pull the two columns in MYSQL from that table I would see something like this:   Received                Processed Date 1996-02-03            1996-02-09 1996-03-03            1996-03-09 1996-04-11            1996-05-09 1996-05-20            1996-06-09 1996-07-13            1996-08-09   If i could get some guidance/help on this i would really appreciate it.   thanks in advance!!   JL

date in my database is save as (dd/mm/yyyy). now i want to create sql to search for activity for chosen month..how do i extract month from (dd/mm/yyyy) and include in sql?

Hi, I'm having trouble with this:

Code: [Select]
$date = date('d/m/y') ;
echo $date;
echo "<br/>";
$date1 = strtotime('date -1 month');
echo date('Y-m-d', $date1);
My result looks like this:
Current Date:  19/05/11
Date minus 1 month:  1970-01-01

I want it to look like this:
Current Date:  19/05/11
Date minus 1 month:  2011-04-19

Hi if i have $date = "12-08-2018" or "2018-08-12"

Need to subtract a month. Could this be done for day and year even?

TIA

Desmond.

P.S.

What I want to do is clear out a database table with records over a month old so today is 27th Jan 2018. I would like to create a date “2018-12-01”

I can then use this in an SQL to delete all before “2018-12-01”

Hello,
I've been struggling for days on this problem now. And I'm getting frustrated!  I know that the answer is simple, and I've done it before but I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong.
What do I want?
Well, I get a date from the database in this format: YYYY-MM-DD. I first want to distract one month from that and then set in into this form: YYYY, MM, DD. I've got this but it's not working (I've tried a lot different values).

$transformdate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-1 month", $d_datevalue)); 
$startpoint = str_replace("-", ", ", $transformdate);


Thanks,
NLCJ

How do i extract the month name only from the above format

Hello,

I have a datepicker that when a date is selected, the post to a php file will get the sum values for that selected day, month, and year.

I have the "by day" working with this...


<?php  
$choice = (isset($_POST['choice'])) ? date("Y-m-d",strtotime($_POST['choice'])) : date("Y-m-d"); 
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","xxxxxxxxxx");  
if (!$con)  {  
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());  
}  
mysql_select_db("inverters", $con);  
$sql = "SELECT sum(power/1000) AS choice FROM feed WHERE date = '".$choice."' group by date"; 
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die('sql='.$sql."\n".mysql_error()); 
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res); 
echo $row['choice'].'<br />';  
?>

But by month and year are not clicking...

Help Please
