PHP - Doubt With Time Consuming Function

hello i got this small function i`m working on to get the date of a month something like get current date - 1 but not sure how to handle jan month can someone help me please ?



$month = date('m') - 1;
$date_startt = date('Y').'-'.$luna.'-01';
$timestamp_start = strtotime($data_start);

Hi there, what I have been trying to do is add some additional logic.. My problem is I want to stop displaying the month and day after the year 2000? I know I need to add an if and else statement but this is my first actual project and I am a little stuck.. here is the page, it's a plugin for a timeline http://www.llandover...oject-timeline/   And the file is attached below.. any help would be appreciated. The plugin code was too long to just post in here, didn't want to cause any slow loading issues for people on a slow connection.. Thanks and I appreciate any help.    Attached Files  annual_archive.php   18.15KB   5 downloads

<?php

function time_convert($l_timestamp)
  {
    $l_timestamp = $l_timestamp * 86400;
    $time = date('Y-m-d',$l_timestamp);
    echo(date('Y-m-d',$l_timestamp));          //This does
    return (date('Y-m-d',$l_timestamp));      //This does not work
    return $time;         // This does not work
    echo $time;          //This does not work
  }
  
time_convert(32155.0);
?>


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

I am trying to run tests on my pages and see how much time each one of em take to execute.
For this purpose, i'm using this code which i got online:
Code: [Select]
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   $starttime = $mtime; 
?>
<!-- Rest of the php and validation and form elements -->
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[1] + $mtime[0]; 
   $endtime = $mtime; 
   $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 
   echo "This page was created in ".$totaltime." seconds"; 
?>

microtime() returns microseconds & secs since Unix epoch. So after exploding, why do we add them both?
Cant we just use the microseconds part?

I've tried this code & the one above & both return same time(almost).

Code: [Select]
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[0]; 
   $starttime = $mtime; 
?>
<!-- Rest of the php and validation and form elements -->
<?php 
   $mtime = microtime(); 
   $mtime = explode(" ",$mtime); 
   $mtime = $mtime[0]; 
   $endtime = $mtime; 
   $totaltime = ($endtime - $starttime); 
   echo "This page was created in ".$totaltime." seconds"; 
?>

Can please confirm my suspicions of simplexml_load_file() are not permitted. I have been reading about cURL implementation instead can someone provide some assistance if this is possible and assist.

A lot of thank in advance,

Hi all,

 Can anyone offer assistance with the following:

 I am trying to obtain a score from a users radio button selection on a simple quiz.

i am not able to obtain the results....

Friends,

suppose iam copying 1 to 100 files using a loop in php & when the copy process reach at 50th file my browser went offline.

My doubt is will it copy all 100 files ?? OR it will terminate at 50th file ?

if i want to get all files copied if the browser went offline then what i want to do ??

Please clear

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.

I'm not sure if this is exactly a coding help question, excuse me if its not.

I want to know what is the best & secure way to submit a form to itself.
I've tried to google the answer, but did not get a proper answer with explanation or may be I didnt use proper keywords to search it.

Out of these which one do i use?

Code: [Select]
// Leave the action field empty.

<form method="POST" action="">

//$PHP_SELF, also if i use echo $PHP_SELF my form does not work like it should.

<form method="POST" action="<?$PHP_SELF?>">

//$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], same problem as $PHP_SELF, it doesnt work if i use echo.
<form method="POST" action="<?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">

Hello guys, i need to create a code for making connections with SSL servers (particularly SMTPS and POP3S) and i know about the existence of OpenSSL extension.

However, i'm in doubt about a basic issue:

1. Is this extension useful for creating SSL clients or SSL servers?

I'm not a SSL expert, so maybe i'm misunderstanding something; i hope you can help me.

Kind regards.

 I’m translating some mixed PHP/MySQL code into pure MySQL code.
  Now I'm having a problem about how to translate PHP's time() function.

  I’m not sure how to choose between NOW(), CURDATE(), CURTIME(), and several others.
 
  I tried NOW(), but to my surprise it outputs today’s year (i.e. 2014) instead of the Unix integer timestamp I'm looking for. And this behaviour seems contray to the MySQL manual.
 
  What should I do ?


 

Hello,

When I use this function, the time always refers to January 1st 1970 ?! How come?
I get the output '4 decades 1 year 11 months' regardless of which date I enter into the function.. ?

Code: [Select]
function timeAgo($tm,$rcs = 2) {
    $cur_tm = time(); $dif = $cur_tm-$tm;
    $pds = array('second','minute','hour','day','week','month','year','decade');
    $lngh = array(1,60,3600,86400,604800,2630880,31570560,315705600);
    for($v = sizeof($lngh)-1; ($v >= 0)&&(($no = $dif/$lngh[$v])<=1); $v--); if($v < 0) $v = 0; $_tm = $cur_tm-($dif%$lngh[$v]);
 
    $no = floor($no); if($no <> 1) $pds[$v] .='s'; $x=sprintf("%d %s ",$no,$pds[$v]);
    if(($rcs > 0)&&($v >= 1)&&(($cur_tm-$_tm) > 0)) $x .= timeAgo($_tm, --$rcs);
    return $x;
}

When I call for the function I use this:
Code: [Select]
timeAgo($row['dateposted'])

The format in the database for 'dateposted' is:
Code: [Select]
2006-08-14 23:29:23

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks a million

I think it is unusual but i dont know to fix it.  when my computer clock shows 16: 13 hours , date() reuturns 10:43:16 . My systems time zone is +5.30 GMT.
how does date() subtracts 5.30 hrs from the system time?

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?

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?
