PHP - What Does This Date Code Do

Hello,

Im trying to work out some code.  On my site between Thursday 12th July and Sunday 15th July between the hours of 22:00 and 23:00 I want to display some code.  I've done this so far, but am having trouble. Anyone please help?



$the_date = date("H:i:s"); 
$timesep = explode(":",$the_date); // 
$hour = $timesep[0]; 

if (($the_date > 2010-08-12  && < 2010-08-15) && ($hour >= 22) && ($hour <= 23)) {
//Code
}

Hi, I'm looking for a code to view the date of the past weekdays. Forexample, if it's thursday, I want it to view the dates for wednesday, tuesday, monday, Friday before.

Thank you in advance.

I'm working on a project that has a lot of different timezone options, and all I have from the users is their UTC offset.

After weeks of doing tweaks, I come to new issues every time I add something, one would think it would be a lot easier to just get the correct time and day :)

The latest issue is that when I try to rewrite a date to a better fomat, it disregards the GMT offset. Like this:

4/14/19, 12:00 PM GMT+2 (=$date) becomes ... 14-04-2019 10:00 when using this code:

$bp_date_to_format = date_create_from_format('Y-m-d\TH:i:sP', $date);
echo date_format($bp_date_to_format, 'd-m-Y H:i');

I figured it would just rewrite the format, keeping the exact time. It isn't.

We do have all these sorts of localization functions as well, but because there doesn't seem to be one single standard (each 3rd party API connection we have uses its own default datetime format so it seems).

        // Remove UTC Text
        $UTC_offset = str_replace('UTC', '', $timezone);

        // Get Offset in Minutes
        if (stripos($UTC_offset, ':') !== false) {
            // Calculate seconds from offset
            list($hours, $minutes) = explode(':', $offset);
            $seconds = $hours * 60 * 60 + $minutes * 60;
        } else {
            $seconds = $UTC_offset * 60 * 60;
        }

        // Get User timezone name from seconds
        $timezone = timezone_name_from_abbr('', $seconds, 1);
        if ($timezone === false) {
            $timezone = timezone_name_from_abbr('', $seconds, 0);
        }
        // Set new TZ
        return date_default_timezone_set($timezone);

 

Isn't there any "one way"solution that can be used? It's confusing to say the least.

 

Cheers.

Since I didn't want to type it out myself I wrote a small Date of Birth drop down menu generator.

Now I'm wondering how I can make the code copy-able in a text area?

The script should be inserting all the code ready and finished into a textarea so you can copy and go.

How is it done?


Here's the script:


<?php
echo "<center>";
?>
<form action='' method='POST'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' />
</form>
<?php
$submit = $_POST['submit'];


if ($submit) {

echo "<form action='' method='POST'>";
echo "<select name='month'>";

for ($m = 01; $m <= 12; $m++) {

echo " <option value='" . $m . "'>" . $m . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "<select name='day'>";

for ($d = 01; $d <= 31; $d++) {

echo " <option value='" . $d . "'>" . $d . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "<select name='year'>";

for ($y = 1900; $y <= 2010; $y++) {

echo " <option value='" . $y . "'>" . $y . "</option> ";

}

echo "</select>";
echo "</form>";
echo "</center>";
}

?>

Hey,

I'm using a script which allows you to click on a calendar to select the date to submit to the database.

The date is submitted like this: 2014-02-08

Is there a really simple way to prevent rows showing if the date is in the past?

Something like this:
if($currentdate < 2014-02-08 || $currentdate == 2014-02-08) {

}

Thanks very much,
Jack

Hello. I'm new to pHp and I would like to know how to get my $date_posted to read as March 12, 2012, instead of 2012-12-03.
Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$sql = " SELECT id, title, date_posted, summary FROM blog_posts ORDER BY date_posted ASC LIMIT 10 ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$date_posted = $row['date_posted'];
$summary = $row['summary'];

echo "<h3>$title</h3>\n";
echo "<p>$date_posted</p>\n";
echo "<p>$summary</p>\n";
echo "<p><a href=\"post.php?id=$id\" title=\"Read More\">Read More...</a></p>\n";
}

?>
I have tried the date() function but it always updates with the current time & date so I'm a little confused on how I get this to work.

I have tried a large number of "solutions" to  this but everytime I use them I see 0000-00-00 in my date field instead of  the date even though I echoed and can see that the date looks correct.

Here's where I'm at:
I have a drop down for the month (1-12) and date fields (1-31) as well as a text input field for the year.  Using the POST array, I  have combined them into the xxxx-xx-xx format that I am using in my field as a date field in mysql. 

<code>
$date_value =$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
echo $date_value;
</code>

This outputs 2012-5-7 in my test echo but 0000-00-00 in the database.

I have tried unsuccessfully to use in a numberof suggested versions of:
strtotime()
mktime

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I am aware that I need to validate this data and insure  that it is a valid date. That I'm okay with. I would like some help on getting it into the database.

(continuing from topic title)
So if I set a date of July 7 2011 into my script, hard coded in, I would like the current date to be checked against the hard coded date, and return true if the current date is within a week leading up to the hard coded date.

How could I go about doing this easily?

I've been researching dates in php but I can't seem to work out the best way to achieve what I'm after.

Hi,

I have a job listing website which displays the closing date of applications using:

$expired_date

(This displays a date such as 31st December 2019)

I am trying to show a countdown/number of days left until the closing date.

I have put this together, but I can't get it to show the number of days.

                    <?php 
                    $expired_date = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true );
                    $hide_expiration = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_hide_expiration', true );
                    if(empty($hide_expiration )) {
                        if(!empty($expired_date)) { ?>
                                <span><?php echo date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true ) ) ) ?></span>
                    
                    <?php
                                        $datetime1 = new DateTime($expired_date);
                                        $datetime2 = date('d');
                                        $interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
                                        echo $interval->d;

                     ?>
                        <?php }
                    } 
                    ?>

Can anyone help me with what I have wrong?

Many thanks

Hi there,

I have a string '12/04/1990', that's in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

I'm attempting to convert that string to a Date, and then insert that date into a MySQL DATE field.

The problem is, every time I try to do so, I keep getting values like this in the database: 1970-01-01.


Any ideas?


Much appreciated.

Hi Guys..

How can I change a date on the fly ?
Everything is UTC on my server.

How can I change a date to something else on the fly?

Ie:

$timezone = "cet";
$datetime = "2011-09-04 19:53:00";

echo $datetime($timezone);

So I can give it a datetime and have it echo the datetime as if it were in the other timezone?

Thanks
Graham

I'm getting this Time Zone error.
Perhaps it's a compatibility issue with PHP 5.3. Looked all over for an answer without finding one.
Here is the error message


Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings.
You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function.
In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning,
you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EST/-5.0/no DST'
instead in /blocked.php on line 41
12/02/12

Here is the code. Line 41 is near the bottom, the one with the d,m,y.  Perhaps the echo date (d/m/y") needs to be changed. Appreciate any help!

Hi, Currently I am making a module for joomla. every article has an publish date, if the article was published in 7 days ago, it will displayed as "article in last week", My idea is to use today's date - publish date, if the result is greater than 7 and smaller than 14, the article will be displayed as "article in last week.
Any one know how to write this code?
Here is what I have got, but not working.

<?php
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d"); 

$result = mysql_query("select * from jos_content where $test between $todays_date-14 and $todays_date-7");  
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
echo "$todays_date - $row[title]";
}
?>
