PHP - Select Value Between Particular Date And Time Schedule

I have a calendar select date function for my form that returns the date in the calendar format for USA: 02/16/2012.  I need to have this appear as is for the form and in the db for the 'record_date' column, but I need to format this date in mysql DATE format (2012-02-16) and submit it at the same time with another column name 'new_date' in the database in a hidden input field.  Is there a way to do this possibly with a temporary table or something?

Any ideas would be welcome.

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 ?

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

Hi,

I'm preparing a code for an automated email, but the date time is not working correctly. I wanted to do a cron scheduler that emails people twice a day - 9am and 9pm. 9am sends email about records logged starting 9pm yesterday to 9am, while 9pm sends email about records logged from 9:01am to 9:00pm. The database uses date/time, so I was doing an if statement of date time, but I wasn't getting the result I wanted.

Sometimes the $now time is not within the yesterday 9pm to the 9pm today range. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I'm sure that it has something to do with the if statement, as the some of the $now time enters the else statement

Here is my code:


<?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', mktime(date("H") + 13, date("i"), date("s"), date("m") , date("d"), date("Y")));
$nineam = date('Y-m-d 09:00:00');
$nine30 = date('Y-m-d 09:30:00');
$ninepm = date('Y-m-d 18:00:00');
echo '9pm yesterday: '.$nineyesterday;
echo '<br/>';
echo '9am: '.$nineam;
echo '<br/>';
echo '9pm: '.$ninepm;
echo '<br/>';
echo 'now: '.$now;
echo '<br/>';


if ((strtotime($now) > strtotime($nineyesterday)) and  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($nineam)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
echo 'am';

}
elseif ((strtotime($now) > strtotime($nineam)) and  (strtotime($now) <= strtotime($ninepm)))
{
//count the answers by yes or no
echo 'pm';
}
else
{
echo 'error';
}
?>


Thanks in advance

Are time zones when calling the date function automatically decided based on where you live? Or is that something that I have to implement--Because the time is wrong according to my time zone.

.

I'm looking to enter the current time and date into a mysql database using php.  My current code looks like this:

Code: [Select]
$now = date("m/d/y",time());
I then insert $now into the table into a datetime column.  This all works but the time when read from the column appears as 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

any help please

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 make $time be a variable with the current time and I want it to have the same format as mysql.  I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here

Wrror: Warning: date_format() expects parameter 1 to be DateTime, integer given

Code: [Select]
$time = date_format(time(),'Y-m-d H:i:s');
