PHP - Time Ago Function Always Referring To January 1st 1970

Hello. I'm trying to create a function that will turn my timestamp into something like "9 hours ago", "3 days ago", ect.. so far I have the below function which seems to do the job fine. only problem is when i try to include it within a span it always places itself right before it.

I use
Code: [Select]
echo "<span class=\"smalltext\">".time_stamp($date)."</span>";
witht the following function
Code: [Select]
function time_stamp($session_time)
{
$time_difference = time() - $session_time ;

$seconds = $time_difference ;
$minutes = round($time_difference / 60 );
$hours = round($time_difference / 3600 );
$days = round($time_difference / 86400 );
$weeks = round($time_difference / 604800 );
$months = round($time_difference / 2419200 );
$years = round($time_difference / 29030400 );
// Seconds
if($seconds <= 60)
{
echo "$seconds seconds ago";
}
//Minutes
else if($minutes <=60)
{

   if($minutes==1)
  {
   echo "one minute ago";
   }
   else
   {
    echo "$minutes minutes ago";
   }

}
//Hours
else if($hours <=24)
{

   if($hours==1)
  {
   echo "one hour ago";
  }
  else
  {
   echo "$hours hours ago";
  }

}
//Days
else if($days <= 7)
{

  if($days==1)
  {
   echo "one day ago";
  }
  else
  {
   echo "$days days ago";
   }

}
//Weeks
else if($weeks <= 4)
{

   if($weeks==1)
  {
   echo "one week ago";
   }
  else
  {
   echo "$weeks weeks ago";
  }

}
//Months
else if($months <=12)
{

   if($months==1)
  {
   echo "one month ago";
   }
  else
  {
   echo "$months months ago";
   }

}
//Years
else
{

   if($years==1)
   {
    echo "one year ago";
   }
   else
  {
    echo "$years years ago";
   }

}

}
in the end I get the span tag with nothing in it and the text right before it. What am I doing wrong?

I tested each variable individually and it appears that the $format variable is causing problems everytime I plug it in.  What am I doing wrong here?


//$time is pulled from the db in the timestamp format
//$tzone is a value like +1 hour, +3 hours etc.
//$format is a value like M.d.Y h:i A
function converttime($time){
return '<i>'.date($format, strtotime($time . $tzone)).'</i>';
}

Hello everyone,

I'm having real trouble with something I'm sure most of you would find easy....

...here we go.....

...I want a redirect script based on referring URL. More specifically, a small part of the referring URL.

example....

ad is placed on Bing, if someone clicks on the ad they get directed to a URL starting "0.r.msn.com/?Id=54r645f3345e" which redirects to my site. I want the referrer checker to looks specifically for the ".r.msn.com/?Id=" and if it's present let the visitor through to the site. The reason I only want it to check for that small part of the URL is because the bits before and after are variables and that is the only "static" part.

However, if someone arrives at my site by not clicking on an ad, I want them to go somewhere completely different, let just say for arguments sake,  google.com.

This is what I have so far...


<?php
$_GET = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ($_GET == '.r.msn.com')
{
header('Location: http://www.mysite.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.google.com');
}
?>



I must be missing something, please help.

Thanks

Can anyone help me, I am not getting the return parameter as I want

I want to have a couple of different formats from mktime(), which the value could be: 1292183335.

I would like to have some of the formats like:

Tuesday at 12:00am,
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 12:00am

Also taking different timezones in consideration. I'm not sure what to use for that.

Hello People,

I've been racking my brains, searching google and trawling through the many pages here to see if someone else has already asked the same question but I cant find it.

I'm trying to build a simple redirect script based on the referring URL.

I want to direct the user to "page a" if any of the arrays are found and "page b" if not.

This is what I have so far

Code: [Select]
<?php 

$main_string="@$HTTP_REFERER";

$arr = array('aaaa','bbbb','cccc');

foreach($arr as $key => $search_needle) {

if(stristr($main_string, $search_needle) != FALSE) 
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=0;url=http://www.google.com/PAGEA.html>";
}
} 

?>
I thought that it might be a case of adding the "else" command but doing that will always redirect to "page b" if all of the arrays aren't true and only 1 needs to be.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

I have 2 referring url.   USERNAME http://testsite.com/...gister&ref=test USER ID http://testsite.com/...gister&ref_id=1   1. Code to remember  ref and ref_id 2. Code to allow user to insert own referrer if no ref link detected? 3. Store ref and ref_id into same column Like db referrer = username/user_id or referrer = username / referrer_id = user_id ?   PHP

$ref_id = isset($_GET['ref_id']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref_id', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');
$ref = isset($_GET['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');

}

$ref = isset($_GET['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : (isset($_POST['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');

All it does is bring you to a unknown page.

Thanks!

I have a php code that call a process (a java program). The process runs in background for a so long time - from 1 minute to 2 hours. I make the process call using exec:

<?php
function execInBackground($cmd) {
    if (substr(php_uname(), 0, 7) == "Windows"){
        pclose(popen("start /B ". $cmd, "r"));
    }
    else {
        exec($cmd . "  &> /dev/null &");
    }
}
$command = "java ... ReadEmailsCmdLine 2>&1";
execInBackground($command);

echo "FINALIZADO";

Though the command runs in background it looks that the PHP code wait for the command completion to send a answer to client browser because I just see "FINALIZADO" after the java program finished its execution.

Does someone know how I can solve this problem? Or at least does have a hint/pointer for that?

Since now I thanks any comment/suggestion

Write a function Counter() that keeps track of the number of times it is called. This function should not take any parameters and return the number of times that it has been called.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];  <-- this returns the full path.

Can I return the referring page name only?

ie) somepage.php

Cheers

First, I would like to say when i tried to recover my account from this website, I took me 10 attempts to get the captcha right and then finally it said it sent me an email to my gmail account. I checked spam folder and everything there was no such email from this site. Then I decided to create a new account, well, it took me another 10 attempts to get the captcha right and finally when it was submitted, the page was loading for around 3 minutes before it signed me in.   My question is about the php date() function. It accepts a format to display a time. In the following example I use F for full representation of month, d for 2-digit day of month with leading zeros, Y for full year, g for 12-hour format without leading 0s, s for seconds and A for meridiem. It uses the correct format, but it gives me the wrong time. My local time is 4:43 and it prints out 4:12:   <?php
    echo "<p>order processed on " . date("F d, Y g:sA") . "</p>";
?>   Why is it 30 minutes behind?

I wrote this bit of code to get the next six datetimes of a certain date. It was working perfectly until this week.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$start = "2011-11-06";

$num_days = 6;
for ($i = 0; $i <= $num_days; $i += 1)
{
$stamp = strtotime($start) + ($i * 86400);

echo date('l - n/d/Y - h:i a',$stamp)."<br/>";

}


?>
The 2011-11-06 is a Sunday so i would expect to get the following:

Sunday - 11/06/2011 - 12:00 am
Monday - 11/07/2011 - 12:00 am
Tuesday - 11/08/2011 - 12:00 am
Wednesday - 11/09/2011 - 12:00 am
Thursday - 11/10/2011 - 12:00 am
Friday - 11/11/2011 - 12:00 am
Saturday - 11/12/2011 - 12:00 am

instead it is producing:

Sunday - 11/06/2011 - 12:00 am
Sunday - 11/06/2011 - 11:00 pm
Monday - 11/07/2011 - 11:00 pm
Tuesday - 11/08/2011 - 11:00 pm
Wednesday - 11/09/2011 - 11:00 pm
Thursday - 11/10/2011 - 11:00 pm
Friday - 11/11/2011 - 11:00 pm

How should i go about fixing this so it doesn't happen again?
