PHP - View All Date Diffrence

Hey,

I'm using a script which allows you to click on a calendar to select the date to submit to the database.

The date is submitted like this: 2014-02-08

Is there a really simple way to prevent rows showing if the date is in the past?

Something like this:
if($currentdate < 2014-02-08 || $currentdate == 2014-02-08) {

}

Thanks very much,
Jack

Hello. I'm new to pHp and I would like to know how to get my $date_posted to read as March 12, 2012, instead of 2012-12-03.
Here is the code:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$sql = " SELECT id, title, date_posted, summary FROM blog_posts ORDER BY date_posted ASC LIMIT 10 ";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$title = $row['title'];
$date_posted = $row['date_posted'];
$summary = $row['summary'];

echo "<h3>$title</h3>\n";
echo "<p>$date_posted</p>\n";
echo "<p>$summary</p>\n";
echo "<p><a href=\"post.php?id=$id\" title=\"Read More\">Read More...</a></p>\n";
}

?>
I have tried the date() function but it always updates with the current time & date so I'm a little confused on how I get this to work.

Alright, I have a Datetime field in my database which I'm trying to store information in. Here is my code to get my Datetime, however it's returning to me the wrong date. It's returning:
1969-12-31 19:00:00

$mysqldate = date( 'Y-m-d H:i:s', $phpdate );
$phpdate = strtotime( $mysqldate );
echo $mysqldate;


Is there something wrong with it?

I have tried a large number of "solutions" to  this but everytime I use them I see 0000-00-00 in my date field instead of  the date even though I echoed and can see that the date looks correct.

Here's where I'm at:
I have a drop down for the month (1-12) and date fields (1-31) as well as a text input field for the year.  Using the POST array, I  have combined them into the xxxx-xx-xx format that I am using in my field as a date field in mysql. 

<code>
$date_value =$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
echo $date_value;
</code>

This outputs 2012-5-7 in my test echo but 0000-00-00 in the database.

I have tried unsuccessfully to use in a numberof suggested versions of:
strtotime()
mktime

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I am aware that I need to validate this data and insure  that it is a valid date. That I'm okay with. I would like some help on getting it into the database.

(continuing from topic title)
So if I set a date of July 7 2011 into my script, hard coded in, I would like the current date to be checked against the hard coded date, and return true if the current date is within a week leading up to the hard coded date.

How could I go about doing this easily?

I've been researching dates in php but I can't seem to work out the best way to achieve what I'm after.

Hi,

I have a job listing website which displays the closing date of applications using:

$expired_date

(This displays a date such as 31st December 2019)

I am trying to show a countdown/number of days left until the closing date.

I have put this together, but I can't get it to show the number of days.

                    <?php 
                    $expired_date = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true );
                    $hide_expiration = get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_hide_expiration', true );
                    if(empty($hide_expiration )) {
                        if(!empty($expired_date)) { ?>
                                <span><?php echo date_i18n( get_option( 'date_format' ), strtotime( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_job_expires', true ) ) ) ?></span>
                    
                    <?php
                                        $datetime1 = new DateTime($expired_date);
                                        $datetime2 = date('d');
                                        $interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
                                        echo $interval->d;

                     ?>
                        <?php }
                    } 
                    ?>

Can anyone help me with what I have wrong?

Many thanks

Hi there,

I have a string '12/04/1990', that's in the format dd/mm/yyyy.

I'm attempting to convert that string to a Date, and then insert that date into a MySQL DATE field.

The problem is, every time I try to do so, I keep getting values like this in the database: 1970-01-01.


Any ideas?


Much appreciated.

Hi, Currently I am making a module for joomla. every article has an publish date, if the article was published in 7 days ago, it will displayed as "article in last week", My idea is to use today's date - publish date, if the result is greater than 7 and smaller than 14, the article will be displayed as "article in last week.
Any one know how to write this code?
Here is what I have got, but not working.

<?php
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d"); 

$result = mysql_query("select * from jos_content where $test between $todays_date-14 and $todays_date-7");  
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
echo "$todays_date - $row[title]";
}
?>

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!

Hi Guys..

How can I change a date on the fly ?
Everything is UTC on my server.

How can I change a date to something else on the fly?

Ie:

$timezone = "cet";
$datetime = "2011-09-04 19:53:00";

echo $datetime($timezone);

So I can give it a datetime and have it echo the datetime as if it were in the other timezone?

Thanks
Graham

Hi guys, I'm putting together a small event system where I want the user to add his own date and time into a textfield (I'll probably make this a series of drop-downs/a date picker later).
This is then stored as a timestamp - "0000-00-00 00:00:00" which displays fine until I try to echo it out as a UK date in this format - jS F Y, which just gives today's date but not the inputted date.



Here's the code I have right now:

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM stuff.events ORDER BY eventdate ASC");

echo "<br />";
echo mysql_result($result, $i, 'eventvenue');
echo ", ";

$dt = new DateTime($eventdate);

echo $dt->format("jS F Y");


In my mysql table eventdate is set up as follows:
 
field - eventdate
type - timestamp
length/values - blank
default - current_timestamp
collation - blank
attributes - on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
null - blank
auto_increment - blank


Any help as to why this could be happening would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

I am trying to convert a String date into numeric date using PHP function's, but haven't found such function.
Had a look at date(), strtotime(), getdate();

e.g. Apr 1 2011  ->    04-01-2011

Could someone please shed some light on this?

Regards,
Abhishek

hello,

is there a simple way to have a full size calendar that shows current month and on each day, it will look into my mysql table and if i have an entry on that day, show the sales field.

i have spent days googling, and trying my own and i just cant get anything.

if i had a calendar script, i could do the rest, but i cant seem to find it, or make it.
