[PHP] Date problems
Hi All, I have a database with a bunch of dates in it. I want to count the number of entries for each year and then display the year and the count. i.e. YearCount 200622 200518 200414 200322 This is what I have tried but just not quite getting it. $query select count(date) as count, YEAR(date) as thisyear from stats group by thisyear; This is the error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in C:\Websites\Website\test.php on line 29 So obviously I must have the syntax not quite right. If I run just select YEAR(date) from stats from the mysql command line it works fine, so I believe the database is set up right. Any help is appreciated.

Yea, I just figured this out. When I cut and pasted I must have overwrote the =.

Re: [PHP] Date problems
Timestamps are stored as seconds from a certain date. The base date differ
depending on the platform, Windows use 1/1/1980 the rest 1/1/1970, but still
seconds. 7 days are 7*24*60*60. Just add that much to a timestamp. It
helps having a constant such as:
define ('DAY_IN_SECONDS',86400);

Hi,
I am having troubles adding 7 days to the current date. I have been
reading through php.net date() and this is what I have come up with but it
doesn't work
$today = date('m/d/Y');
$nextweek = date('m/d/Y',mktime(date(m), date(d)+7, date(Y)));
if I echo the above variables they are the same? Shouldn't the $nextweek
be different?
Thanks for the help

The problem with doing it this way is that it won't take leap seconds,
leap years and daylight savings into account, so on any of these edge
cases it will appear to be broken. That's why strtotime(+7 days) is
the correct way to do this.

You are thinking too much! ;)
$nextweek = date(m/d/Y,strtotime(+7 days));

By the way, the reason your way isn't working is because you have your
arguments wrong. The first three arguments to mktime are hour, minute,
second, and since you are only printing the date you lose the fact that
you added 7 minutes. If you try your script just before midnight you
will notice the values are different.

Re: [PHP] date problems
sounds like it might have something to do with leap year.

Re: [PHP] date problems
i think it is the strtotime() function that gives the trouble... why don't you try mktime() ? sounds like it might have something to do with leap year.

[PHP] Date problems
Hi, I'm having a bit of a weird problem with the date() function. I am using PostgreSQL to store guestbook entries and updating and displaying them with Apache 1.3x and PHP4 on OpenBSD. The date information is being stored correctly in PostgreSQL, but I'm using the date() function to format the date to look nice like so: $date=date(l F j, Y n:i a T,strtotime($data-day_time)); to achieve: Friday November 2, 2001 11:27 am PST The problem comes in that the time is a few hours off. In the above example, the time should have been 1:27 pm PST. In addition, the time for all the entries is off in what appears to be a sequence. The previous entry is off by three hours, the one before that is four hours off, and so on. Any ideas about what might be happening? I know haven't given a lot of information, nor the actual URL, but I'm hoping it's just something simple that I'm doing wrong. Thanks, Raymond -- Raymond C.
