But there are only 4 lines in chapatiz.php and it has nothing to do with it i think

Hey guys,
How would I go about subtracting Today from a previous day to find the difference?

For example, I want to subtract TODAY from a previous date in my database, to determine if the difference is greater than 1 day.

Any ideas? I tried doing the subraction in TIMESTAMPS, but when I convert the date back to Y-m-d H:i:s, I got some weird year and time.
 

Hello Everyone,

I am on windows server and In my ini file server time zone declared as below

[server_settings]
date.timezone = "Europe/London"

but my application installed on another timezone eg: 'America/Los_Angeles' time zone.

using date_default_timezone_get() i am always getting Europe/London timezone as it's declared in ini file. How to get local timezone(wherever application is installed) here?

Thanks Krish

Hello, I am building an online game(users make a character and move on a map and so on...)   All user data is stored in a mySQL database and I want the users to interact in real-time, but there can be a 1-3 second delay between the communication, but not exceed 3 seconds even if 500 players are playing at the same time.   But for the purpose of the question let's say the users can only chat between one another, if I'll have a solution for that then I can use the same method for more parts of the game.   I can't use websockets because my webhost doesn't support it( I don't want to use pusher.com).   I know I can make real-time apps with ajax long polling, but I think that with 500 players playing at the same time it's not the best solution.   So, finally: How can I make user interaction as close as possible to a real-time game? (Without too much load on the hosting server)   (I am sorry if some of my terms are not correct - I am just getting back to coding after a long time...)

Basically I have recently been playing around with parsing a csv file. What I am looking to do at this point is simply take the date/timestamp (part of the csv file), which is in the following format:DD/MM HH:MM:SS.100th/s
For the sake of argument, lets say I have this in an array string called $csv[0] and the file has several lines that span the course of a couple hours. I wouldn't mind having to use explode() to breakup/remove the date or 100th/s IF that would make things a lot simpler.

So where would I start in trying to achieve this?. The result I am looking for will simply return "X Seconds". Storing this in a string variable would be a bonus, as I plan to use this to divide a separate piece of information.

Any examples or ideas would be great. Thank you.

ps:
Here is an example time from the csv file itself:
Code: [Select]
11/19 22:23:18.143

PHP date and time function is not showing correct time on my local system

I have the following php code

date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Lagos");

$date = date('d-m-y h:i:s');

echo "Server Time ".$date ."<br>";

echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa")."<br>";

$current_datetime = date("Y-m-d") . ' ' . date("H:i:s", STRTOTIME(date('h:i:sa')));

echo "Current time1: ".$current_datetime . "<br>";

 

Output

Server Time 21-05-21 09:55:39
The time is 09:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 09:55:39

 

Expected Output

Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
The time is 10:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 10:55:3

 

Any help would be appreciated.

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 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!

Hello everyone, here is my problem.

I am working for someone that would like users to be able to create a Trial Account on their website. This trial account is to be used for 24 hours, once the 24 hours is completed they can no longer login/use that account.

Everything about the Trial Account is completed, other then the account timer.

I am at a loss on how to get this part done.

I was thinking that I would use the MySQL commands, GETDATE() and DATEADD(), to get the date and time that the account was created and using the DATEADD() command I would add 24 hours to the GETDATE() value. Then if the user logs into at a date past the DATEADD() value the Users Account type is switched to 3(This means that the account has been disabled) and then is directed to the Logout page, which then redirects him back to the homepage.

After this point, the user can no longer login due to the code preventing any user with an account type of 3 to login.

The problem is that I am unaware how to incorporate the GETDATE() and DATEADD() functions into my PHP code.

Would anyone be able to explain how I can get this done, or suggest a better method of inputting a starting time and ending time for the account?

Thank You for any/all help.

Hi peps,

I am trying to write a script that allows for events to be executed at any given time that user gives it like 
if the user wants it at 2 am the event will execute at that given time i read some answer they say use cron 
but im using windows how to do it ??
 

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?

Been googling this for hours now and I can't find something that doesn't give a parse error.

I found this thread: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=160855 ..and tried to work around the answer but with no luck.

All I really want to do is something like this:

<td class="

<?php
if ($time<20:00&>1:00) { echo "class1";}
else if($time>20:00&<2:00) { echo "class2";}?>

"></td>

I want the class to change to another one if the user see the table cell within a specific hour of the day.

I created a "statistics of site" page, stats.php.
Currently stats.php updates every visit, that's over 25 queries for every visit, with over 9,000 visits a day, I wish to cut down.
What is the best way to make it so all queries are done every hour, therefore requiring less queries to the database?
I assume the best way to go at this would be either to run a time() based script every 60 minutes and:

  - update this to a new field, then stats.php will require 1 query every visit, plus the 1 every hour.
or
  - update a text file and read that each stats.php visit, meaning just the 1 query every hour.

Now, I understand the second option will run much less queries overall, but is it the best way to go? Is there a better way to go about doing this?

Hi, i am thinking of creating a text based game mmorpg using php/mysql etc... I know that a lot of these types of games use a tick based system, but i want it to be realtime, the only game i cna find that uses this is Torn, does anyone know how they make it realtime? I know that ticks can be controlled by cronjobs, but how about realtime?

The problem is that the game might involve the player building a house, in a tick based system it could be easy to manage by saying the house will take 3 ticks to complete, but i want the house to be like in 10 minutes of 32 minutes, how can i do this. Someone said to check whenever the player next logs in to check if the house has finished and then say it has been built, but seeing as it is an mmorpg it could affect everyones gameplay, not just the person building it, so this will not work.

Thanks and sorry if this is a bit confusing.

This code works just fine to display a list of reservations for a given day and sums the guest and table counts just fine for the entire day. Sums all reservations returned. What I am trying to do or figure out is a way to get totals based on specific time intervals. For example how many guests and tables at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, etc.... I can see where the sums are calculated, but need help adding a way to add a variable to look at the reservation_time and sum by hour rather than just daily total.

       $tablesum ++;
        $guestsum += $row->reservation_pax;
<?php echo $guestsum;?>&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo _guest_summary;?>

The full code that pulls in the data and then sums it up in total:
