I am working on a project where I need PHP and mysql to perform calculations on dates, so I am storing them in the mysql format 2011-09-12, I am writing a custom function that will convert this into a date('M d Y') format, but all I get when I run my function is "1" This is my first custom function, so i am sure it is a simple fix, I am just at the end of my spectrum on functions. I can do this as an inline script, but will need this on various pages
Code: [Select]
function readableDateConvert($mysqlTime) {
$phpTime = strtotime($mysqlTime);
$readableTime = date('M d Y',$newTime);
return $readableTime;
}

//$start_point = '2014-07-22';
$lastday = date('t',strtotime($start_point));
$month_val = date('n',strtotime($start_point));

echo "Last day: ". $lastday . "<br/>";
echo "Month: ". $month_val . "<br/>";

I have a problem with a date value read from a MySQL database table into a PHP variable but when manipulating the vale to determine the month of the date, unexpected results appear. I am not sure what causes this but I suspect PHP is not properly handling date to string conversion.   The output from the code shows 1 as the month when it should be 7. Hower the line of code with the comment "//$start_point = '2014-07-22' if added in give the correct result. When the value of the variable "start_point" is printed, it gives the value "2014-07-22".   Please see the code   Telly

Purpose: To get time zone of a remote file in my time zone. I have to download a file daily (mp3, don't worry its legal!) from BBC. Problem is that sometimes BBC doesn't update the file and i have to download entire file to check if it has been updated or not. Hence i decided to code a page that gives me date and time of that remote file. I have successfully compiled the code (that i got from internet). But the time returns in EST. I want the time in IST (indian std time Asia/Calcutta). CURLINFO_FILETIME has bee used. Below is code.

Pls suggest me how to convert EST to IST - Warning: I am a newbie. But i can follow instructions

Code: [Select]
<?php
$curl = curl_init('http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/hindi/tx/32mp3/din_bhar.mp3');

//don't fetch the actual page, you only want headers
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);

//stop it from outputting stuff to stdout
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// attempt to retrieve the modification date
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true);

$result = curl_exec($curl);

if ($result === false) {
    die (curl_error($curl)); 
}

$timestamp = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME);
if ($timestamp != -1) { //otherwise unknown
    echo "BBC Hindi was last modified" . date("d-m-Y h:i:s A T", $timestamp); //etc
} ?>


I have used it with custom getRemoteFileSize function he -
Code: [Select]

PHP date and time function is not showing correct time on my local system

I have the following php code

date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Lagos");

$date = date('d-m-y h:i:s');

echo "Server Time ".$date ."<br>";

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa")."<br>";

$current_datetime = date("Y-m-d") . ' ' . date("H:i:s", STRTOTIME(date('h:i:sa')));

echo "Current time1: ".$current_datetime . "<br>";

 

Output

Server Time 21-05-21 09:55:39
The time is 09:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 09:55:39

 

Expected Output

Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
The time is 10:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 10:55:3

 

Any help would be appreciated.

I am having a problem with PHP displaying the correct date and time. It updates as it should, but is fast by 4min and is always displaying a date in 2004. I ran a basic php script to make sure the application im using itself is not wrong. go to lunenburgledger.com/time.php

Anybody had any ideas on where to check? The system time on the Windows Server 2003 is correct. The only thing I can think of is that it was converted to a virtual machine on vmware esxi, but the system time stayed right. Any ideas?

Thanks!

OK So I've got a datepicker that sends a date in d/m/y format. My DB stores the data in Unix Timestamp Which I can convert the date to with strtotime however this does the exact date & time.

All I want is the actual day. I've spent hours trying to convert this with just the day with mixed results...

Thanks.

I have a field set as datetime and want to compare that field to see if it is older then ten minutes. Can anyone help I am having a brain fart?

What is the best way to insert this time stamp into mysql?  This is the info I want...

Example:  Sunday, 28.1.11, 9:56

How would I also select time from the database using mysql?

Hey,

I need help with date, I have stored dates in my table in this format:
i.e. 22.10.2011 but now use timestamp to store dates.

Problem is with this query the WHERE clause will find dates in the old format
and I want to change that to the new format.

Code: [Select]
for($i = $count; $i > 0; $i--)
{
$day = date("d.m.Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") - $i, date("Y")));
$tmp = mysql_fetch_array(safe_query("SELECT count FROM ".PREFIX."counter_stats WHERE dates LIKE '%".$day."'"));
$array[] = $tmp['count'] ? $tmp['count'] : 0;
}

Am I making sense ?

I have a batch script that reads from a timestamp.txt file to determine the last time it ran and I need to modify that by two hours.
What happens is the script will run to look for changes in the county records and their server time is two hours different from mine.

Code: [Select]
$fr=fopen("xml/timestamp.txt",'r');
$mydate=fread($fr, 50);
if ($incremental_updates == 1){
$default_template_file="xml/incremental_template.xml";
$default_config_name="xml/incremental.xml";
$contest=file_get_contents($default_template_file);
$contest=str_replace("{DATE_TAG}", $mydate, $contest);
$f=fopen($default_config_name,'w+');
fwrite($f, $contest);
fclose($f);
fclose($fr);
$fw=fopen("xml/timestamp.txt",'w');
fwrite($fw, substr(date('c'), 0, 19));
fclose($fw);
}else{
$default_config_name = "xml/full_update.xml";
}

I tried making a time stamp update look like $cur_timestamp=date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() +14400); which is correct but it doesn't write to the text file properly.

Using the above fwrite($fw, substr(date('c'), 0, 19));
I get the correct results in the timestamp.txt file for my server time. I need it to be +14400

2011-05-25T08:27:51 would essentially become 2011-05-25T10:27:51 when it writes to the timestamp.txt

I hope that makes sense.

Hey,

I need help with my date & time string.
I need to edit it do show in a string + also use it for calculating things like when the date has passed.

The string is like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php $string = '2011-01-01 00:00 AM'; ?>

So i wanted to check if there was a function that can automatically convert it, so it would say for example:


Quote

Sunday, 1st of January 2011
00:00 AM



But at the same time compare $string against server time to see if the date has expired?

Hope you can help

Hi!

The below dropdown will show dates/times every 15 minutes from 12am to 11:45pm for only 1 day.
I want it to show for 5 days, anyway I can do this?

Below code:

Code: [Select]
$start = strtotime('12:00am');
$end = strtotime('11:45pm');

echo '<select name="time">';
for ($i = $start; $i <= $end; $i += 900)
{
echo '<option>' . date('F j, Y, \a\t g:i a', $i);
}
echo '</select>';

Thanks for any help.

Hello, first time poster here and PHP newbie. I was directed here by the html forum. I need help adding a time + date stamp to videos I upload to my web page. I have searched this and other formus and not seen a similar query / solution.

Here is my page: http://ob-kc.com/tl.html

The thumbnails are linked to their respective timelapse videos. Between the thumbnail itself and the label (i.e. '7 am - 8 am') I would like to add 'Updated x/x/2011 @ xx:xx:xx'

Any suggestions on the cleanest way to do this?
