[PHP] strtotime Question

[gohaku]

Hi everyone,
I made the mistake of using strtotime(day) instead of 
strtotime(today)
to get the current time.
I was just curious, what is strtotime(day) represent?

Below is what I used to test the day and today parameters:

Testing One Minute Differencebr
?
echo min_diff();
function min_diff()
{
$now = strtotime(today);//Return value is 60
//$now = strtotime(day);//Return value is 86400
$onemin = strtotime(-1 minute);
return $now-$onemin;
}
?
Thanks in advance.

60 seconds * 60 min. * 24 hrs. = 86400?

[PHP] strtotime() question

[Kyle Bisignani]

Hello,
I'm not even quite sure if I am posting this message in the right place,
so please bear with me.
I have a question regarding the strtotime() function.  I am developing a PHP
script to handle dates for my web site, and I need an easy way to get from
today to tomorrow to +2 days to +3 days... you get the idea... all the way
up to +90 days.  The strtotime() function seems ideal because the script can
easily put in +51 days and it knows what to do.
My question is how does it handle Daylight Savings Time?  The program I
was previously using (written in Perl) actually jumped a day or duplicated a
day when DST was coming up or ending.  When using the +19 days syntax in
the strtotime() function, does it take into account DST and not cause
similar problems?

Thank you very much for any help.

Subject: [PHP] strtotime question


 Hi there,
 
 $ob-date is '2000/03/06'.
 
 $d = ereg_replace('([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)',
   '\2/\3/\1', $ob-date);
 
 $d is now '03/06/2000'.
 
 $foo = getdate(strtotime($d)+86400);
 
 Here I have to add an entire day to the value of strtotime($d) to get
 the expected results for below.
 
 echo "P" . $foo["weekday"] . ", " . $d . "blockquote\n";
 
 Without adding a day to strtotime() $foo["weekday"] is 'Monday'.
 
 Is there some kind of timezone stuff I am not accounting for? or is it
 something else?
 
 Thanks,
 Jason
