I'm assuming you meant get records one week less than the current system
timestamp.
date('Y-m-d G:i:s', strtotime('1 week ago'));

I believe you can also use strtoime()

$time = strtotime($inputTime);
$time = strtotime('-1 day', $time);
$outputTime = strftime('%Y-%m%d', $time);
I'm not sure which is more efficient, but it helps when you're looking
for next thursday or other things like that.

Then you'll have both values in PHP - the actual original GMT date the date was created, and an offset date you can use for display. Or of course you can pluck just the GMT date out and start using PHP functions to convert to local timezones, etc. But if the shoe fits ...

Okay, so I should set the default time zone to central GMT time, and then save GMT offset for every user. This sounds realistic, because I don't think that I need to correct the time for users that doesn't login. Well, that was my whole point. If you store the GMT offsets for each user at a certain time in the year, they will turn invalid when they switch from daylight savings to no savings. Not all countries use daylight savings and even those that do don't switch at the same time. Furthermore, northern and southern hemispheres switch in opposite directions, if and when they do. If your users have to log in, that is the perfect time to read their current local time from the browser and keep it just for the session. Don't store it permanently. In PHP dates are stored as seconds from an arbitrary zero set at Jan 1st, 1970, so does MySql with date/time values though it shows them formatted but you can use the UNIX_TIMESTAMP function to get the actual timestamp.

date() uses Unix timestamps which on most Unix platforms goes from
-MAX_INT to MAX_INT which means the date range is actually
12:45:52 12/13/1901 to 07:14:07 01/18/2038. So you might be able to

You can check it with:

echo date(h:i:s m/d/Y, 2147483647);
Windows, not being Unix, doesn't understand that the timestamp can
be
negative, although I think someone fixed that in PHP 5. In my 11+
years
of PHP I have yet to run PHP on Windows, so I wouldn't know.

It's a fairly well known problem now but I'm sure we'll all be using (at least) 64bit integers for storing this sort of stuff by 2038.

All date functions handle correctly this case
so echo strftime('%m:%d:%Y', gmmktime(0,0,0,7,2-10,2002));

You can add/substract what you wish and will get correct results in case the

I believethisto be one way to find out yesterday's date:
$tomorrow = mktime (0,0,0,date(m) ,date(d)-1,date(Y));
However, I would like to have a snippet of code to tell me how to
get
the
date of today - 10 days ago.
if today is jul 29, 2002, how do I get the date funtion to tell me
10
days
ago. with jul 29, 2002 as the date it would be easy, just subtract
10
from
29, but what happens if the date was jul 2, 2002. How do I get the
correct
date returned
All date functions handle correctly this case
so echo strftime('%m:%d:%Y', gmmktime(0,0,0,7,2-10,2002));
will be:
06:22:2002
You can add/substract what you wish and will get correct results in
case
the
the resulting timestamp is between 1.1.1970 and somewhere in year
2038.

Re: [PHP] Dates and Date()
Since you leave your name as 1LT, I am assuming that means 1st LT in what
branch of the service...Army probably and the reserves no less.
I am working on a huge project and write lets of code. Mostly MySql stuff. I
did not know how to do this so I asked. Two people were nice enough to help
out.
It seems you are stuck on yourself and thought I was asking you. There are
many levels in this list with over 11000 posts. Some people help people
because others ask for it. If I wanted you opinion, I would have asked for
it.
I have received 11 emails from this list about your post and all thought you
were being a jerk. If you didn't like what I was asking for you could have
simply not read it or responded. Instead, you post your opinion to the
entire group. You could have just sent it to me directly.
It's people like you who intimidate others from sending a post or worse
replying to someone in fear of someone like you who thinks they are better
then everyone else. The name of this list is not EXPERTS or Only after
you tried several times it is general.

Re: [PHP] Dates
PHP way: Use strtotime() to get a unix timestamp for each one. subtract smaller from larger and divide by number of seconds in a day. MySQL way: I assume these dates come from a database. Use a query like this: SELECT TO_DAYS(column_one) - TO_DAYS(column_two) AS Difference FROM table WHERE ... Then you'll have a column 'Difference' in your result that contains the difference between the two dates in days. ---John Holmes... - Original Message - From: Jeroen Timmers [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 28, 2002 2:16 PM Subject: [PHP] Dates i have two dates for example 2002-10-9 and 2002-11-16 Is there a function to see how many day's between thore date's is?

RE: [PHP] dates only in the future
I'm looking for a function which enables me to allow user
only to enter those dates which are still to come. In my head
I have three select things... one for day, one for month and
one for year. In order to prevent the user from submitting the
form with the date which is in past, I need probably Javascript.
Am I correct?
Only if you want to check before the form gets submitted...
I rather prefer to keep my site Javascript free and therefore it
would be great if somebody has already written such a function
and would be ready to share it with me/others. If not, any ideas
how to start...
Here is a function I use. Call after the form is submitted.
function verifyDate( $date_month, $date_day, $date_year, $notprior = ) {
// v. 1.1
// 1999.11.19 - to check to make sure that the selected dates are
// within the appropriate range:
// ie. days cannot exceed 31, months cannot exceed 12 and
// years cannot be more than 10 years in the future.
$retval = 1;
$today = MkTime(0,0,0, date( m ), date( d ), date( Y ));
$selected_date = MkTime(0,0,0, $date_month, $date_day,$date_year);
if(( $date_month 12 ) ||
( $date_day 31 ) ||
(( $date_year ( date( Y ) - 95 )) || ( $date_year date( Y
{
$dategood = 0;
} else {
$dategood = checkdate( $date_month, $date_day, $date_year );
}
if( !$dategood ) {
$retval = Date is invalid. Please make sure that the day selected is
valid for the month selectedbr\n;
} elseif (( $today $selected_date ) ( $notprior )) {
$retval = Date Selected Is Prior To Todaybr\n;
}
return $retval;
} // End function verifyDate();

Which of the queries are you concerned with, 'cuz on that second query
you're only fetching array $b once. Wrap a while() loop around it like
you did with array $a if you want more rows.
BTW, you're missing an opening curly brace for the first while().

RE: [PHP] dates
Why don't you look into mYSQL documentation and rewrite your queries,
you might be able to end up with one only single query and 3 lines of PHP,
instead of the whole bunch as you're trying to do.
The reason I advise you that is that mySQL plays some really sweet games
with dates, while PHP treats them as simple set of integers...
Hope it helps.

RE: [PHP] dates from db
My own solution to this is a bit more complex but it seems to work with both of the
databases I work with. MySQL and Postgress.
for example I would use 'select *,unix_timestamp(cr_date) as my_cr_date from table
where ref_index=2345;'
Then when I go to output it I can use the unix date command such as
'$string=date("l dS of F Y h:i:s A",db-f(my_cr_date));
My reference to db-f(my_cr_date) is my phplib methof of reading the data. You may use
your own method. Doing it this way you can get your own method of displaying dates or
times in almost any way you want. And you don;t have to count on your database
supporting it.

Re: [PHP] dates
Yes I had a look at mktime() and date() and tried to think of an easy way to do it but couldn't... you can convert both dates to a UNIX timestamp (millseconds after whatever date) then do a subtraction... and then what? Easy to work out number of days from millseconds as a day's length is fixed but to go to months is harder as of course you need more information than just the actual elapsed time. Similar problam with mktime() as it's designed for actual dates, not differences between days. What is XEmacs calc- mode and calendar mode? I'm not all that familiar with Unix I'm afraid..

Easy to work out number of days from millseconds as a day's length is fixed but to go to months is harder as of course you need more information than just the actual elapsed time. Similar problam with mktime() as it's designed for actual dates, not differences between days. The Unix timestamp is in seconds after midnight January 1 1970. A approximatley calculation can be done with seconds. One minute has 60 seconds and 60 minutes are one hour. One day have 24 hours. But 24 hours times 7 days are not everytime a week and you should know a year has sometimes 365 days and sometimes 366 days. All calendar programs which are spret with GNU/Linux have some knowledge about the deviations. What is XEmacs calc- mode and calendar mode? I'm not all that familiar with Unix I'm afraid.. I think you can use XEmacs on all Windows operating systems. If I have time, I will install such a great editor on my Windows ME. Windows Notepad is such a pain. -Egon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, Feb 18, 2001 at 04:40:08PM -0700, Julian Rockeu wrote: Anyone know how to use the PHP date functions to work out the difference between two timestamps?
