PHP - Working With Dates

Hey, I have just recently coded a forum and my topics are ordered by date. This means if there is a topic at 4pm and then there is another topic made at 4:01pm the topic which was posted at 4:01pm will be listed at the top.

I know how to add timezones but there is bit of a problem,  if  person from the UK posts a topic and his/hers timezone is set to:

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');()

this means the time at which the topic was posted will be 20:36pm (Just a randome time example).

However if someone posted a topic from america/los_angeles one hour before the one above his/her time will be 11:36 am. Even though this topic was posted one hour before the UK post. The UK topic will override it because it is 8:36pm. In fact, all UK topics will show up at the top and all the america/los_angeles topics will show bellow.

How do I slove this problem? I just don't get it even tough I looked online.

Please help, thanks.

Hi,
So I only want my users to be able to perform certain tasks each 12 hours.
This is the code I use:
Code: [Select]
function canVote($ip, $vote_id, $updateTimer = true){
$time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");

$this->CI->db->where('vote_id', $vote_id);
$this->CI->db->where('user_ip', $ip);
$this->CI->db->from('votes_voters');
$count =  $this->CI->db->count_all_results();
/*$count = $this->CI->db
->where('vote_id =', $vote_id)
->where('user_ip =', $ip)
->from('votes_voters')
-count_all_results();*/

$row = $this->CI->db
->where('vote_id =', $vote_id)
->where('user_ip =', $ip)
->get('votes_voters')
->row();

if($count == 0){
$data = array(
   'vote_id' => $vote_id,
   'user_ip' => $ip,
   'last_vote' => $time
);

$this->CI->db->insert('votes_voters', $data);
return true;
}
else{
$last_vote = $row->last_vote;
if($last_vote + strtotime("12 hours") < $time){
return false;
}
else{
if($updateTimer = true){
$data = array(
               'last_vote' => $time,
            );

$this->CI->db->where('vote_id', $vote_id);
$this->CI->db->where('user_ip', $ip);
$this->CI->db->update('votes_voters', $data);
}
return true;
}
}
}
Apparently the failing bit is this:
Code: [Select]
if($last_vote + strtotime("12 hours") < $time){
return false;
}
I believe you can guess what I'm trying to do here, if variable 1 + 12 hours is smaller than variable 2, then return false.
Any help is much appreciated.

i want to created a case like the following need help with the syntax:
Code: [Select]
switch (true)
{
case($fromdate-$todate==17-04-2001-25-04-2011):
echo $finalprice = $result;
        break;
}

Hey guys,

What I'm trying to do is set 2 dates.  Today's date and then a date 14 days from now.  However, I want it to increase the month if by adding 14 days will bring me to the next month, same with the year.

I have this, but it doesn't increment the month or year.

$week = mktime(11, 59, 59, date("m"), date("d")+14, date("y"));
$date =  date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $week);

Hi again!
I'm trying to use this code that i found somewhere in the net to display all the dates between 2 dates.
It is exactly what i need but..
I understand the code and its structure (i think) but it gives me an error (maximum execution time of blah blah) which i think is
because it makes an infinite loop(not sure..  )

Code: [Select]
function GetDays($sStartDate, $sEndDate)
{   
$sStartDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sStartDate)); 
$sEndDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime($sEndDate)); 
       
     $aDays[] = $sStartDate; 
     
     $sCurrentDate = $sStartDate; 
     
      while($sCurrentDate < $sEndDate){ 
        $sCurrentDate = gmdate("Y-m-d", strtotime("+1 day", strtotime($sCurrentDate))); 
     
        $aDays[] = $sCurrentDate; 
      } 
     
      return $aDays; 
    } 


Appreciate the help and suggestions!
Gonna browse the forums for answers for the meantime...

Hello.  I wanted to make a table where the dates are listed going forward at least one year.  So, at least 365 records, but each date should be unique and should start from today until one year from now.  I tried to make a date column and make it a primary key.     However, an error comes up when I try to insert more than one record.  This is for a calendar that I'm building so I need the dates listed one year in advance and it would be great if new dates could be added without my having to manually go in there and insert new records to stick to my 1 year in advance rule.     For that aspect I might have to create a php script where the date records are added every time a user logs in, to make sure they are up to date, but anyways what I don't understand is why I can't make a table with 1 year of date records in advance, where each row has a unique date starting from today.

There are two things I want done.

1. Grab the current date in TIMESTAMP form and increase by a certain number of days as assigned by $days()
2. Similar to the previous one, it will grab an already specified TIMESTAMP, and work from there

All it echoes is 86400, which I assume is the number of seconds?

Code: [Select]
<?php
$days = 1;
echo strtotime("+$days days", strtotime($date));
?>

Hi I'm trying to get this to work. 

I have known date in MySQL database entered as 2019-08-01 and I need to calculate from that date to current time. 

What I have is this code

$date_ts = strtotime($row['date_ts']); //Timestamp
$date_str = date("M-d-Y", $date_ts); //String in format MMM-DD-YYYY
$TotalTime = floor((time() - $date_ts)/(60*60*24)) . ' days';//Total in days

but my result showing as ==> 18367 days

Could someone please help me get this to work so it shows the right number of days. thank you

 

When just generating HTML, where should dates be formatted?  What about when generating JSON (I've found that date formatting is not so straight forward using JavaScript)?  Are there factors which may make one approach better than the other (i.e. querying one record versus a list of records)?  How important is consistency of an approach?  Any other factors I should consider?  Please provide rational for your decision.  Thank you     At the database?

DATE_FORMAT(my_date, "%m/%d/%Y %r") AS my_date

In the controller?

$date = new DateTime($my_date);
$my_date=$date->format('m/d/Y');

In a twig or smarty template?

{{ mydate|date("m/d/Y g:i A") }}

At the client using handlebars and the Moment library?

UI.registerHelper("formatDate", function(datetime, format) {
if (moment) {
f = DateFormats[format];
return moment(datetime).format(f);
}
else {
return datetime;
}
});

...

{{formatDate MyISOString "short"}}

Hi, I have a created comment system, now what i am after is when the comment is posted the time is posted in hidden format. All is going fine but what i don't know, what should the time be posted as example date(H:m:s) or... the result i want is time in minutes first e.g.
commented 2 mins ago and increasing to hours after that days. Could some one kindly guide me in the right directions.

I have looked and looked around on google, but I can't seem to enter the right keywords for this.  I have an events page and I need the events to only display between the date ranges...........startdate and enddate.  here is the entire code for the page,

This is a big big big part of website and so I really need this to be working.  Is there also a way I could possibly display this by events in a month instead of by day?  If any body could help me, that would be so awesome.

Hello Everyone,

I seem to be going no place fast...

In a PHP file, I should be taking a date from a jquery datpicker, and get it to a format that mysql will read in the yy-mm-dd format with...

if(isset($_POST['choice']))
$choice = (isset($_POST['choice'])) ? date("Y-m-d",strtotime($_POST['choice'])) : date("Y-m-d");

Can't seem to get a single inline(embeded) jquery Datepicker date to post right to the PHP and mysql correctly to return data from the table.. My reading has me to understand it should be right, but it is not. Now the datepicker select does have several POST events to PHP that trigger from the single select... data being requsted in PHP by the day, month, and year as well as PHP to use the date to create a highcharts graph in the PHP file to select data for hours of a day, days of a month, and months of a year.

The Table is very simple... date, time, power

Here is the PHP for dayPower.php that will just collect the sum data for the selected day in the datepicker...

<?
if(isset($_POST['choice']))
$choice = (isset($_POST['choice'])) ? date("Y-m-d",strtotime($_POST['choice'])) : date("Y-m-d");
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","mackie1604"); 
if (!$con)  { 
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); 
} 
mysql_select_db("inverters", $con); 

$sql = 'SELECT sum(power) AS power '        
.'FROM feed '       
.'WHERE date = $choice';
$res = mysql_query($sql) or die('sql='.$sql."\n".mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
echo $row['power']; 
?>

Here is the javascript that sends the date and how it post the PHP file.

Code: [Select]
$(document).ready(function () {   
      $('#datepicker').datepicker({onSelect: function(dateText,inst) {
            var myDate = $(this).datepicker('getDate');
            $('#apDiv1').html($.datepicker.formatDate('DD, d', myDate));
            $('#apDiv5').html($.datepicker.formatDate('MM', myDate));
            $('#apDiv7').html($.datepicker.formatDate('yy', myDate));
            $.post('dayPower.php', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                $('#apDiv2').html(data).show();
            });
            $.post('dayGraph.php', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                  $('#apDiv4').html().show();
});
$.post('monthPower.php', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                $('#apDiv6').html(data).show();
            });
            $.post('monthGraph', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                  $('#apDiv9').html().show();
});
$.post('yearPower.php', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                $('#apDiv8').html(data).show();
            });
            $.post('yearGraph', {choice: inst.val()}, function(data) {
                  $('#apDiv10').html().show();
});
      }});
});

What am I doing wrong

Alan

so i have a basic html table and down the left column i have monday,tuesday,wednesday.... sunday.

In the column 2nd from the left, i want to fill it with the current weeks dates, which is really based on the current date. So if today is Jul 29th Friday, then strtotime("last monday") would give me Jul 26th Monday... my issue is "last monday" wont work if today is monday because that will give me 19th of july... and since I technically dont know what day is today i'm not sure how to cleanly work around this without having to use some if statement... if today is monday do "last monday +7 days" or just do "now" etc...

Thanks!

Hi All,

Bit stuck on something I think should be quite simple.
I have a table which includes events that have a state date and end date (startdate, enddate).

I've got a search function that pulls out with various criteria etc, however i'm now doing a search by date.

For example, an event may start on 1st Jan 2011 and finish on 1st May 2011.
If my search for which events are on on the 2nd February; it should pull the above event out, as it lies inbetween those dates.

Code: [Select]
SELECT * FROM events WHERE ((DAY(events.startdate <= '".date('d',$day)."') AND DAY(events.enddate >= '".date('d',$day)."')) AND MONTH(events.startdate <= '".date('m',$day)."') AND MONTH(events.enddate >= '".date('m',$day)."'))

Theres a bunch of other stuff joining tables etc, but you get the idea.
For some reason this isn't working?

I've got it working by month, but month AND day is eluding me. I also need to add in the year, but that isn't so important at the moment.

Any help would be amazing!

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to get the date, using this code


<?php
include('config.php');
$today = date('Y-m-d 00:00:00');
$nineyesterday = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', mktime(date("H") - (date("H") + 6), date("i") - date("i"), date("s") - date("s"), date("m") , date("d"), date("Y")));
$now = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
$nineam = date('Y-m-d 9:00:00');
$ninepm = date('Y-m-d 18:00:00');

if ((strtotime($now) >= strtotime($today)) &&  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($nineam)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
$q = "SELECT opt, count(opt) FROM plus_poll_ans WHERE date<='".$nineyesterday."' AND date>='".$nineam."' GROUP BY opt desc "; 
}
elseif ((strtotime($now) >= strtotime($nineam)) &&  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($ninepm)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
$q = "SELECT opt, count(opt) FROM plus_poll_ans WHERE date<'".$nineam."' AND date>='".$ninepm."' GROUP BY opt desc "; 
}
$q = mysql_query($q) or die(mysql_error());

//separate the results
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($q))
{
$total_opt[] = $row['count(opt)'];
}

mysql_freeresult($q);

$yes = intval($total_opt[0]);
$no = intval($total_opt[1]);

$total = $yes + $no;
        echo $total."<br/>";
        echo $yes."<br/>";
        echo $no."<br/>";
?>


but it didn't work, why isn't it working?

Thanks
