PHP - How To Format A Date

  Code: [Select]
$date =date("d F Y");
It will display 18 October 2011.
If I need it to display 2011-10-18. How do it go about coding it?

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

Anyone know what's up with this?


<?php
    $days = floor($posts['timestamp'] / (60 * 60 * 24));
    $remainder = $posts['timestamp'] % (60 * 60 * 24);
    $hours = floor($remainder / (60 * 60));
    $remainder = $remainder % (60 * 60);
    $minutes = floor($remainder / 60);
    $seconds = $remainder % 60;
           
    if($days > 0) {
    echo date("d/m/y", $posts['timestamp']);
    echo " at ";
    echo date("H:i", $posts['timestamp']);
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours == 0 && $minutes == 0) {
    echo "few seconds ago";
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours == 0) {
    echo $minutes.' minutes ago';
    }elseif($days == 0 && $hours > 0){
    echo $hours.' hour ago';
    }else{
    echo "few seconds ago";
    }
    ?>

I'm pulling some info from various XML files and am having problems converting the following date format so that it can be stored as a DATETIME field in a MySQL database.

This obvious newbie would appreciate a shove in the right direction...  Thanks in advance 

I need to change the date format to DD-MM-YYYY. Please help.

$SomeVar = $_POST['finco'];
$query = "SELECT * FROM  news_home WHERE code = '".$SomeVar."' ORDER BY timestamp DESC";
$results = mysql_query($query);

$returnS="";
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
$returnS.= $line["subject"].",,".$line["timestamp"].",,".$line["News"].",,".$line["links"].",,,";
}
echo $returnS;
mysql_close($link);
?>

Hi,
I'm struggling a bit with using a date format and strtotime()

Code: [Select]
if(!empty($_GET['utime']))
{
$time = strtotime($_GET['utime']);
}

utime is supplied in the format dd/mm/yyyy but when I use strtotime() it treats it as mm/dd/yyyy....so 07/12/2011 is taken as 12th Aug rather than 7th Dec..which is the date I want to use.

I had a quick ganders through the forums but couldn't find anything specific to this.

is there any other attributes to strtotime() that will help, or a similar fucntion or a neat way of swoping my dd/mm/yyyy round before i use strtotime()

any help greatly appreciated...

while I'm reading the cell value '20/09/1980' from an excel file using phpexcel class method

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

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

Hi there,

i want to convert whatever a user inputs through and html form to a DATE format which when posted will be entered (using mysql) as that particular Date format , i'm using this:

Code: [Select]
$date = "12-12-11"; //assume this to be the user input

$time = strtotime($date);
$new_date = date("d/m/Y",$time);
                echo $new_date;

but this format will give the output as:  11/12/2012.....is there a way to convert whatever the user enters to be: dd/mm/yyyy which gives: 12/12/2011
thanks so much

I am currently using a product called PhPRunner.
The aim is to set the default value of a field to the current time in (Africa/Johannesburg) zone.
Got this to give the time:  Date("H:i:s")  but it is not in (Africa/Johannesburg) zone
Thanks
