PHP - What Am I Missing? Php, Mysql And Timestamp Autoupdate

How do i correctly update a timestamp?
Code: [Select]
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

mysql_query("UPDATE mmembers set time=now() where email=$myusername");

Hi,

I have in my DB a column with a timestamp as definition.
Now I would like to have only the month and year of that column for further use in a form.

How can I achieve that?

Thanks!

What is the proper way to turn a date that is in "m/d/Y" format, into a correct timestamp. When I try strtotime, then try to change it back to a date, it shows up incorrectly (defaulting to the 1969 date that it does
when it messes up.

I just need to be able to turn

$date = '10/15/2011'; to and from a timestamp correctly. Any advice?

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. I've encountered a problem that I cannot figure out a way to solve. I need to calculate the remaining days until a specified unix timestamp. I haven't yet figured out how to get the amount of days until the timestamp.


If anybody could tell me how to get the remaining days until a unix timestamp I would be grateful, thanks.

$epocTime = $math.newInt($math.divide("$today.getTime()", "1000")))

How would I go about adding a timestamp to my image uploads so I don't erase image files with the same name? Also, what would be the correct use of the mysql_escape_string

<?php

require_once('storescripts/connect.php');
mysql_select_db($database_phpimage,$phpimage);
$uploadDir = 'upload/';
if(isset($_POST['upload' . $config]))
{
foreach ($_FILES as $file)
{
$fileName = $file['name'];
$tmpName = $file['tmp_name'];
$fileSize = $file['size'];
$fileType = $file['type'];

if($fileName==""){

$filePath = 'upload/';
}
else{

$filePath = $uploadDir . $fileName;
}

$filePath = str_replace(" ", "_", $filePath);
$result = move_uploaded_file($tmpName, $filePath);

if(!get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$fileName = addslashes($fileName);
$filePath = addslashes($filePath);
}
$fileinsert[]=$filePath;
}
}

$mid   = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['mid']));
$cat   = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['cat']));
$item  = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['item']));
$price = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['price']));
$about = mysql_real_escape_string(trim($_POST['about']));

$fields = array();
$values = array();
$updateVals = array();
for($i=1; $i<=4; $i++)
{
    $fields[$i] = 'name'.$i;
    $values[$i] = mysql_real_escape_string(basename(trim($_FILES[$fields[$i]]['name'])));
    if($values[$i] != '')
    {
        $updateVals[] = "{$fields[$i]} = '{$values[$i]}'";
    }
}

$updateNames = '';
if(count($updateVals))
{
    $updateNames = ", " . implode(', ', $updateVals);
}

$update = "INSERT INTO image
               (mid, cid, item, price, about, name1, name2, name3, name4)
           VALUES
               ('$mid', '$cat', '$item', '$price', '$about', '$values[1]', '$values[2]', '$values[3]', '$values[4]')
           ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE
                cid = '$cat', item = '$item', price = '$price', about = '$about' $updateNames";
$result = mysql_query($update) or die (mysql_error());

$id = mysql_insert_id();

I need to set two variables for use within my pages, one containing a date as a string in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM-SS' and another containing the same date as a timestamp.

The date and time stored will take on the value passed in the url if available, else will be for the current date.  The time should always be midnight at the beginning of the date.

eg.  $datestr = '2010-09-08 00:00:00'  and  $datestamp = '1283904000'

Where a date is passed in the url, it will be in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.

The problem I am having is getting an accurate timestamp.  I think the trouble is connected to the handling of daylight saving time as it it always an hour out.  What I have at the present is as below:

Code: [Select]
<?php
// ensure all date and time functions are relative to the correct timezone (UK)
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');

// string holding selected / current date in format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'
$datestr = (isset($_GET['date']) ? $_GET['date']." 00:00:00" : gmdate("Y-m-d")." 00:00:00");

// int holding selected / current date as unix timestamp
$datestamp = strtotime($datestr);
?>

Can anybody give me a simple way of converting $datestr into $datestamp to ensure that this is always correct for my UK timezone, irrespective of whether we are in or out of daylight saving time?

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

My issue is if I'm given a time stamp in PHP how could I calculate the number of days until that time stamp?.

Thanks for your time.

I need some help. I have this script that pulls timestamps from the database. What I want to do is create a count of how many of those timestamps that were returned were from the morning(6am-12pm), Afternoon (12pm-6pm), Evening (6pm-12am), or Night (12am-6am). How do I do I parse the timestamps to do that and display the count. Thanks!

I have a table in which I am storing a date/time value. It is stored as timestamp. When I try to echo the value, it does not return anything, just a blank field.
this is my code (which works for the rest of my form - with non date values)

anyone know why it is not working?

Code: [Select]
$arrival_time = $_GET['arrival_time'];

Code: [Select]
<tr>
<td align="right" >Arrival Time</td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" id="arrival_time_e" name="arrival_time_e" class="input" value="<?php if (!empty($arrival_time)) echo $arrival_time;?>" /></td>
</tr>

i hava also tried ... which returns the value of 1969-12-31 19:00  (but the dates stored in my database are the right timestamp format, 2011-04-26 22:43:11)
Code: [Select]
<tr>
<td align="right" >Arrival Time </td>
<td align="left"><input type="text" id="arrival_time_e" name="arrival_time_e" class="input" value="<?php echo date("Y-m-d H:i ", strtotime($row['arrival_time']));?>" /> </td>
</tr

hope someone can help

I have a column that is named date_created and has a value of DATETIME. How on this script can I  insert only the time it was created. Is it NOW()) and if so how do I write it in the script? Code: [Select]
// if residential
if($_POST['type'] == ""){
mysql_select_db("", $con);
$sql = "INSERT INTO apartments (username, title, county, town, type, description, phone, rooms, bath, square, rent, fees, service, imageurl1, imageurl2, imageurl3, imageurl4) VALUES ('".$myusername."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['title'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['county'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['town'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['type'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['description'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['phone'])."', '".$_POST[('rooms')]."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['bath'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['square'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['rent'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['fees'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['service'])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[1])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[2])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[3])."', '".mysql_real_escape_string($images[4])."')";

$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

I've been looking at converting my php timestamps to display as month, day, and the hour and minute the event occurred on, i tried;

Any help will be appreciated

Hello!
I'm trying to develop some kind of RSS news aggregator and I want to show only feeds younger than 1day. I figured i could transform RSS pubDate to timestamp (strtotime()), but there are some feeds without timestamp (like: http://izklop.com/xmldata/rsslinks.xml). Is there any other way to do it, so I could find timestamp from those feeds without pubdate?

If there isn't any other way, do You think it is ok, to just show last 5 feeds?

I hope I made my self clear, and please forgive me for my English
