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.

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.

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?

Hello All,

I have tried to find a solution for this issue for days. The script was working fine until yesterday when all of a sudden I get this warning.

Quote

Warning: imagecreatefrompng(http://domain.com/images/broadcast1.png) [function.imagecreatefrompng]: failed to open stream: Connection timed out in /home/domain/public_html/logo/logo1.php on line 8


line 8 is:
$image_1 = imagecreatefrompng($file_1);
Where
$file_1 = "http://domain.com/images/broadcast1.png";

The exact code is working perfectly fine in a different server I have, both servers are running Centos with PHP5 + GD fully enabled. The image http://domain.com/images/broadcast1.png (~5Kb) is loading very fast when open through a browser.

Please please help me resolve this, I have tried many different things and even uninstall and install GD again but n luck. Thank you so much for your help.

I need help with a query.   I've got a table that stores references to calls that come in to our office. It has a datetime field, and for the purposes of the query, it's the only thing in this table that is important.   I've got another table that stores appointment information. The appointment start time is also a datetime field. For this query, this start time is the only thing in this table that is important.   I need to know how many times in the last year there was a day when we had at least 150 calls come in and made at least 1 appointment.

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM appointments a
LEFT JOIN (
  SELECT DATE(time)
  FROM calls
  WHERE <there are at least 150 calls on a day>
) c 
ON DATE(a.start_time) = c.time
WHERE a.start_time >= CURDATE() - INTERVAL 1 YEAR 

To make things difficult, I guess the time would have to be converted to a day, because I'm looking for all days where there was an appointment, and the datetime field is too specific.   I've been looking online for 30 mins or so, and was hoping somebody here could point me in the right direction. I'm not making much progress by myself.

Hi all

I am trying to edit a piece of code to change possible times for a booking system.

This is the code I have:

$count=0;
               for($b=$startTime;$b<$endTime;$b++){
                  if($count==$tempVar2){ $availability .= "</td><td align='left' valign='top'>"; }   
                  if(in_array($b,$reservedArray)){
                     $availability .= $b.":00 ".($b<12?"am":"pm")." - ".($b+1).":00 ".($b+1<12?"am":"pm")." - Booked.<br>";
                  } else {
                  $availability .=$b.":00 ".($b<12?"am":"pm")." - ".($b+1).":15 ".($b+1<13?"am":"pm")."- <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"".$b."\" name=\"time[]\" ><br>";
                  }
                  $count++;
               }

It gives me the following times:

09:00 am - 10:15 am
10:00 am - 11:15 am
11:00 am - 12:15 am
12:00 pm - 13:15 pm
13:00 pm - 14:15 pm
14:00 pm - 15:15 pm
15:00 pm - 16:15 pm
16:00 pm - 17:15 pm

How can I change it so I can have the following times available:

10:00 am - 10:30 am
10:45 am - 11:15 am
11:30 am - 12:00 pm
12:15 pm - 12:30 pm
etc...

Many thanks for you help
Pete.
