PHP - Strtotime() Returning Many Different Times Based On Type Of Visitor

Hello,   I'm trying to use strtotime to add time to a mysql type timestamp. Any help would be appreciated. I think I have tunnel vision from looking at it when I know it has to be something obvious...lol

$start = "2014-05-22 09:16:24";

$type = 30;

$endtime = date($start,strtotime("+ '.$type.' minutes"));

echo "End: ".$endtime."</br>Start: ".$start;

Right now it returns:  End: 2014-05-22 09:16:24 Start: 2014-05-22 09:16:24

I'm trying to add 5 days to $today date:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$exp_date = "2011-09-11";
$todays_date = date("Y-m-d");

$today = strtotime("+5 days", $todays_date);
$expiration_date = strtotime($exp_date);

if ($expiration_date > $today) {
     echo "Valid: Yes";
} else {
     echo "Valid: No";
}

?>
Is +5 days used wrong?

First time posting code and very new to php aka learning as I go...

The below code works as shown, but in the 'else' clause, I'd like to replace the +4 with
a variable.  How to do this?

I've tried,

Code: [Select]
$renewaldate = strtotime($subscriptiondate);

$sft = "' +" . $duesmultiplier . " year'";
$next_year = date('Y-m-d',strtotime($sft,$renewaldate));

but this doesn't return what I expect.  Perhaps this can't be done using this
technique?

Code: [Select]
if($n == 0)
 {
 $renewaldate = strtotime($subscriptiondate);
 $next_year = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('next year',$renewaldate));
 echo $next_year;
 }
else
 {
 $renewaldate = strtotime($subscriptiondate);
 $next_year = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('+4 year',$renewaldate));
 echo $next_year;
 }

Thank you

Hi, I have a bit of an issue with my application, I didn't notice until today, Sunday... Apparently PHP sees Sunday as the first day of the week, which I cannot fathom where it got hat notion from... but anyway, so I have the following samples of my code:
Code: [Select]
    $mondayoflastweek = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('monday last week'));
    $sundayoflastweek = date('Y-m-d 23:59:59', strtotime('sunday last week'));

The crazy and very troublesome thing about the results of that code is that if you run that today, Sunday, it shows today as last week... So therefore, the next bit of code is just as problematic:
Code: [Select]
    $mondayofthisweek = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('monday this week'));
    $sundayofthisweek = date('Y-m-d 23:59:59', strtotime('sunday this week'));

As you can imagine, for payroll, this is causing a big problem... My week starts at precisely 12:00 am on Monday and ends at precisely 11:59 pm on Sunday...

Could someone please help me out with this...

Hey,

Well when they view my website from home. We get the same (public)ip. Is there a way to tell that these people are not the same person, not using the same ip, because i am saving data from the ip(visitors). The others will get the same date too, because of the same ip. Or is there any other way to get a unique id(number) from visitors?

Hope you understand.
Cheers.

Hello!

A user is going to input a date in the form "mm/dd/yyyy".  I'd like to convert this to a time stamp so that I can store it via MySql.  I've heard about the "strtotime" function in PHP but I'm not sure how it can tell that the user 03/04/2011 represents March,4th 2011 and not, say April,3rd 2011 (European version).  Help with the correct syntax for conversion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Eric

when i use strtotime('+3 HOURS') everything is fine. so why cant i use strtotime('+3.5 HOURS')? what would be the proper way to do this?

I have this php code:

length is 15 , that is what it is coming out of the database


$length = $get['length'];

$time = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('+$length days'));

But when I echo time it comes out with this result 1969-12-31

What am I doing wrong?

Little confuzzled.

I have got a bunch of listings that will be printed at the end of the page but I need to subtract a time specified in a textbox (send it to itself) on the page.

Code: [Select]
$row['active'] = (strtotime('$row[etd]') + $rwy1 = $_POST['tmatttextfield']);Well this just converts the time in the database which is always going to be a four character number such as: 1300 for 1PM into a time and adds the textbox value to the time.

Code: [Select]
<td width="50" bgcolor="<?php echo $bc?>"><strong><?php echo date('hi', $row['active']);?></strong></td>That just prints it all out formatting the time to only Hours and Minutes.

So just to clarify the user would put in say '10' in the textbox which would constitute 10 minutes.
The code above should then define that '10' as 10 minutes.
Define the database result, ie. 1500 as 3PM and add the 10 minutes to it so it would become 1510.

I have been getting some wierd and wonderful results whilst trying to get it to work. Mainly just 1200 though.

how do I use strtotime() instead of mktime()?

$matchTimea = mktime($mHour, $mMinute, 0, $mMonth, $mDay, $mYear);

if($matchTimea-time() < $cutoffTimea*60)
{

Good Day,

I'm struggling to get strtotime() to return anything.

I have the following code..
$fields['birth']['day'] = 9;
        $fields['birth']['month'] = 7;
        $fields['birth']['year'] = 1982;
        $dob = $fields['birth']['day'].' '.$fields['birth']['month'].' '.$fields['birth']['year']; // Returns: 9 7 1982
        $dob = strtotime($dob); 
        die($dob);

No matter what I do $dob isn't returning anything once strtotime() is used. I've tried matching my day/month/year 's with examples in the manual on the strtotime() page but using date() on the fields, but it still doesn't want to return anything.

I feel I'm missing something simple here.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey gues,
 
My question is: how is the easy'est way to redirect i mobile visitor to: mobile.domain.com, when visiting: domain.com?
 
Thanks:).

Is there a good how to out there on how to create a code that will tell me where a page visitor is from? Similiar to google analytics, I'd like to find out where a visitor is from but I need this information before the page loads. I've tried googling but all I come up with are sites that offer the service if I sign up with them.

Also, I have a list of zip codes / cities in an excel spreadsheet .. I'd like to get this into a db table but don't want to type each one out for the next month. How could I do this? My host is godaddy on a linux box with mysql 5.X if that helps.

Thank you
