Re: [PHP] Formatting time :/
If it is stored in a database, you may want to convert within your query: MySQL: date_format Postgresql: to_char If it's just in a text file, PHP's date() function should do it: http://php.net/date I dunno if there's a nifty constant for the format you want, but you could always mess with mktime and date to get what you want. http://php.net/mktime On Tue, January 2, 2007 6:39 am, Steven Macintyre wrote: > Hi all, > > I am unable to find out how to do this ... or what the format is > "called" > bar zulu format > > I have standard 00:00:00 time stored ... and wish to display it as > 00h00 ... > has anyone done this with php ... can you point me to right page etc > ... > > What is that format called? > > > > Kind Regards, > > > Steven Macintyre > http://steven.macintyre.name > -- > > http://www.friends4friends.co.za > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- Some people have a "gift" link here.

bar zulu format
I have standard 00:00:00 time stored ... and wish to display it as 00h00 ...
has anyone done this with php ... can you point me to right page etc ...
What is that format called?
http://php.net/date
$time = date('H\hi', strtotime('00:00:00'));
Or, if the input format is always the same, you could do it like so...
$time = str_replace(':', 'h', substr('00:00:00', 0, 5));

How would you figure out how many minutes that was? Do you know how many seconds there are in a minute? And once you had the minutes, how would you figure out how many hours that was? Do you know how many minutes there are in an hour? I hate to be condescending, but I think they teach this sort of thing in school around age 7. Of course, you can only go up to weeks this way. It's not possible to accurately calculate months or years from an abstract number of seconds (without knowing the starting date and time) because months and years have varying lengths. You could average it out by saying a month is 30 days and a year is 365.25 days but that's ever so slightly off (only matters when you get into hundreds of years). miguel -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
