PHP - Php Date And Time Function Help

I am having a problem with PHP displaying the correct date and time. It updates as it should, but is fast by 4min and is always displaying a date in 2004. I ran a basic php script to make sure the application im using itself is not wrong. go to lunenburgledger.com/time.php

Anybody had any ideas on where to check? The system time on the Windows Server 2003 is correct. The only thing I can think of is that it was converted to a virtual machine on vmware esxi, but the system time stayed right. Any ideas?

Thanks!

OK So I've got a datepicker that sends a date in d/m/y format. My DB stores the data in Unix Timestamp Which I can convert the date to with strtotime however this does the exact date & time.

All I want is the actual day. I've spent hours trying to convert this with just the day with mixed results...

Thanks.

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!

Code: [Select]
   <table border="3" width="16%" align="center" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FF6600" bordercolor="red" bordercolordark="red" bordercolorlight="red">
                            <tr>
                                    <td width="176">

                                            <p align="center"><?php // shows IP Number on Page
            echo $ip; ?> </p>

                                    </td>
                            </tr>
                    </table>
                    <p align="center"><?php // Show the user agent
        echo 'Your user agent is: <b>'.$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].'</b><br />';?></p>
                    [b]<h1 align="center"><?php echo date("d/m/y");?></h1>[/b]
            </td>
    </tr>
</table

Hey,

I need help with my date & time string.
I need to edit it do show in a string + also use it for calculating things like when the date has passed.

The string is like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php $string = '2011-01-01 00:00 AM'; ?>

So i wanted to check if there was a function that can automatically convert it, so it would say for example:


Quote

Sunday, 1st of January 2011
00:00 AM



But at the same time compare $string against server time to see if the date has expired?

Hope you can help

Hi!

The below dropdown will show dates/times every 15 minutes from 12am to 11:45pm for only 1 day.
I want it to show for 5 days, anyway I can do this?

Below code:

Code: [Select]
$start = strtotime('12:00am');
$end = strtotime('11:45pm');

echo '<select name="time">';
for ($i = $start; $i <= $end; $i += 900)
{
echo '<option>' . date('F j, Y, \a\t g:i a', $i);
}
echo '</select>';

Thanks for any help.

I have a batch script that reads from a timestamp.txt file to determine the last time it ran and I need to modify that by two hours.
What happens is the script will run to look for changes in the county records and their server time is two hours different from mine.

Code: [Select]
$fr=fopen("xml/timestamp.txt",'r');
$mydate=fread($fr, 50);
if ($incremental_updates == 1){
$default_template_file="xml/incremental_template.xml";
$default_config_name="xml/incremental.xml";
$contest=file_get_contents($default_template_file);
$contest=str_replace("{DATE_TAG}", $mydate, $contest);
$f=fopen($default_config_name,'w+');
fwrite($f, $contest);
fclose($f);
fclose($fr);
$fw=fopen("xml/timestamp.txt",'w');
fwrite($fw, substr(date('c'), 0, 19));
fclose($fw);
}else{
$default_config_name = "xml/full_update.xml";
}

I tried making a time stamp update look like $cur_timestamp=date("Y-m-d H:i:s", time() +14400); which is correct but it doesn't write to the text file properly.

Using the above fwrite($fw, substr(date('c'), 0, 19));
I get the correct results in the timestamp.txt file for my server time. I need it to be +14400

2011-05-25T08:27:51 would essentially become 2011-05-25T10:27:51 when it writes to the timestamp.txt

I hope that makes sense.

Hey,

I need help with date, I have stored dates in my table in this format:
i.e. 22.10.2011 but now use timestamp to store dates.

Problem is with this query the WHERE clause will find dates in the old format
and I want to change that to the new format.

Code: [Select]
for($i = $count; $i > 0; $i--)
{
$day = date("d.m.Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d") - $i, date("Y")));
$tmp = mysql_fetch_array(safe_query("SELECT count FROM ".PREFIX."counter_stats WHERE dates LIKE '%".$day."'"));
$array[] = $tmp['count'] ? $tmp['count'] : 0;
}

Am I making sense ?

What is the best way to insert this time stamp into mysql?  This is the info I want...

Example:  Sunday, 28.1.11, 9:56

How would I also select time from the database using mysql?

I have a field set as datetime and want to compare that field to see if it is older then ten minutes. Can anyone help I am having a brain fart?

Okay, I have this form system/processor I have programmed and I am having a minor issue. When the form data is sent via email I want the date/time the user submitted the information included in the email, mainly for records. Now, I thought using $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] would work, but it is returning a value of "1320019222" in the email, any tips on how to fix this??

Thanks!!

Code: [Select]
1 Apr 2012 @ 21:30
any help please

Hello, first time poster here and PHP newbie. I was directed here by the html forum. I need help adding a time + date stamp to videos I upload to my web page. I have searched this and other formus and not seen a similar query / solution.

Here is my page: http://ob-kc.com/tl.html

The thumbnails are linked to their respective timelapse videos. Between the thumbnail itself and the label (i.e. '7 am - 8 am') I would like to add 'Updated x/x/2011 @ xx:xx:xx'

Any suggestions on the cleanest way to do this?

the TIMESTAMP from mysql returns in this format: 2012-04-20 14:25:50

How could I rearrange this with PHP to read as: 04/20/2012 14:25

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to this forum as of now.  I have a question which probably has a very straightforward answer but I just can't solve it.

I am using mysql and have the following code:

while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
         {
            $time1=date("j F Y G: i", $row[1]);
            echo "<tr><td>$row[email]</td>";
            echo "<td>$time1</td>";
            echo "<td>$row[comment]</td></tr>";
         
             }   

It is the first line in the curly brackets that is causing the problem.  If I replace $row[1] with $time I get today's date/time. But I need the date/time from what has been input so that won't work.  Can anyone explain to me what is wrong with my code please? It gives the following error message:

Notice: A non well formed numeric value encountered in C:\xampp\htdocs

Thanks very much

I'm trying to pull data from a mysql db. I've stored data on the mysql with the date/time property. So How can I pull the mysql data by date/time?
