PHP - Detect Months

Just to make things a lot simpler, I decided to start a new topic.

My question is, how can I count how many months it is back to the past November?

Example: May 2011 back to November would return 6.

Example: Dec 2011 back to November would return 1.

Example: October 2011 back to November would return 11.

I am working on a report generation. Here I need to count the number of months involved in the selected date range. I need to apply the monthly charges accordingly.

Example: If the user selects 25-08-2011 to 03-10-2011, it should return 3 as the number of months.

Yes, the number of days are less than 60 but still the date range is spread across 3 months.

Any solution.. Please.

Hi,

I have db field with date. I want to make select statement with where clause when part of the date (month) is true. Example, i have records from 2020-2-1 until 2020-4-3, i want to select records for march only 2020-3-1 to 2020-3-31. how to do that? 

Hello All,

I have a News database in which articles are entered in. Right now all the stories are being display in one big page with every story on it. What I would like to do is to create an "archive" in which it automatically organizes the stories by their date.

For example.

2011
February
January

2010
December
November
October
September
etc...
etc...

I have a datetime field for the database, and I know how to do this all manually, but I can't figure out how to make it automatically add a month each month. It would be too much maintanence to have to update this every month.

I also don't know what this would be called, so I don't even know what to search for. I've tried blog and news, but doesn't seem to be what I want.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Something strange has happend today.

I am from the UK the date is March 31st so I am using timezone:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
I capture the date:
$date = date("Y-m-d");
Add a month to the date:
date("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 Month", strtotime($date)))

And its comming out as May.

If I capture the date through the URL which I do when navigating back:
$date = $_GET['date'];
Its works and says April

Can anyone please advise me on why this is happening.

Thanks

hi, im making a simple blgo system, and i'd like to show a list of the last ten months, so the user can click the month name, and it will open the blog page with all the posts from that month, just like we usually see in blogs.
any ideas?
thanks in advance

As far as I can see, this code:
Code: [Select]
$this->_licence_expires = date('Y/m/d', mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")-1, date("Y")));
results in accounts expiring 1 year from today, right?

How can I change it so that it will result in expiry 9 months from today?

TIA

Hello,
I am trying to display rainfall totals for the year so far in a table with months going across and days going down. Like so:

-- Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
etc

And then have the rainfall totals for each day in the table, I am quite experienced with PHP however I cant work out how I would do this 

The data is stored in a mysql table called "wx_daily", and the rainfall column is called" RainTotal". The dates are stored in the "Date" column in mysql Date format.

Im using the following mysql query:

SELECT * FROM wx_daily WHERE YEAR(Date) = '2011' ORDER BY Date Asc


Thanks,
Mark

So this is a simple code that finds out the difference between two dates and displays it in number of days.

$date1=date_create("2013-03-15");
$date2=date_create("2013-12-12");
$diff=date_diff($date1,$date2);
echo $diff->format("%R%a days");

// RESULT
+272 days

 

My first question. Is it possible to remove the + sign in the result above?

Second question. Is it possible to show "months" if it's greater than 30 days? And years if the days are greater than 365?

How would I do this?

I am using the following code to get the third sunday of every month for +6 Months from todays date.  I have put together the following code which works perfectly when the date is echoed however when it comes to inserting those dates into mysql db it throws a unable to convert to string error.  Im new to this and my head is in a spin as to why those dates can't be inserted if they can echoed ok.  I have spent 2 days at it now and searched many forum however they seem to get side tracked from my issue (or do they)??????? I figure I can't go mixing DateTime and date() the way I have?  Please help???

Code: [Select]
[php]
$month=date('F');
$now=date('Y-m-d');
$year=date('Y');

$num='3'; //example only this will be a $_POST value 0-3
$day='Sunday'; //example only this will be a $_POST value Monday-Sunday

$start= date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+'.$num.' week '.$day.' '.$month.' '.$year.''));

if($start>$now) {
$begin=strtotime('+'.$num.' week '.$day.' '.$month.' '.$year.'');
} else {
$d = new DateTime( $start );
$d->modify( 'first day of next month' );
$nextmonth = $d->format( 'F' );
$year = $d->format( 'Y' );
$begin=strtotime('+'.$num.' week '.$day.' '.$nextmonth.' '.$year.'');
}

$date=date('Y-m-d', $begin);
# insert into db first occurance
//mysql_select_db($database);
//$query_rsFirst = "INSERT INTO event_date VALUES (NULL, '$event', '$d', '$date', '$date')";
//$rsFirst = mysql_query($query_rsFirst) or die(mysql_error());
echo $date.'<br/>';
for($i = 0; $i <= 4; $i++)  {
$d = new DateTime( $date );
$d->modify( 'first day of next month' );
$nextmonth = $d->format( 'F' );
$date=date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+'.$num.' week '.$day.' '.$nextmonth.' '.$year.''));

# insert into db
//mysql_select_db($database);
//$query_rsDate = "INSERT INTO event_date VALUES (NULL, '$event', '$d', '$date', '$date')";
//$rsDate = mysql_query($query_rsDate) or die(mysql_error());
echo $date.'<br/>';
if($nextmonth=="December") {
$d = new DateTime( $date );
$d->modify( 'first day of next year' );
$year = $d->format( 'Y' );
}
}
[/php]

I'm getting this error "Warning: mysql_query(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/westiehi/public_html/groupBOS.php on line 36"

for this code: Code: [Select]
$query_rs_specialty = "SELECT * FROM specialty WHERE Group_Place <> '' and Date>= DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 6 MONTH) ORDER BY Date DESC";

I've tried everything to get this to take records where the one field is blank and the date is greater than a date 6 months ago but nothing seems to work.  Help would sure be appreciated!!

Hello.

Would php be the right thing to use in regards to monitoring changes in html on certain pages, Basicly, I'd need it to be something like:

"Page last changed: 2 Days, 4 Hours, 34 Minutes and 13 Seconds ago."

What would I use for this?

Thanks

Hi,

Would time() produce the timestamp based on your time environment or the servers?, if it produces the timestamp based on the server; how would I generate a timestamp (which I can later use within date()); so it displays to the users timezone?

Code: [Select]
if ($showigiteidimage) {
                    $igitwid_divlnk = "onclick=location.href='" . get_permalink($igitwid_result->ID) . "'; style=cursor:pointer;";
                    $igitwid_output .= '<li id="igit_wid_rpwt_li" style="height:' . $igitwid_height . 'px;    padding-bottom: 10px;" ' . $igitwid_divlnk . '>';
                    $igitwid_output .= '<div id="igit_wid_rpwt_main_image"  style="float:left;">
