[PHP] Date formatting issue
Hi all, I've got dates in the following formats e.g. August 05, 2008, 10:14 am (e.g. today's date) August 04, 2008, 7:08 am (e.g. yesterda's date) August 03, 2008, 9:08 am (e.g. in the past) I am trying to format these dates do I can display them like this Today at 10:14 am (today) Yesterday at 9:08 am (yesterday) August 03, 9:08 am (if its not today or yesterday then display the month and day and time only) Can anyone help with tips on how to achieve this ?

I would like to have my users input the date formate as mm-dd- mysql wants the data to come down as -mm-dd.

Re: [PHP] date formatting
Just have your input form get it in sections, then piece it all together when dumping it to MySQL This way you can transparent the code on the front to users, but have it in the right format in the backend.

You could tell MySQL to use the mm-dd- input format I think. Ask
on a mysql list.
In PHP:
?php
if (preg_match('|([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{4})|', $date,
$parts){
$m = $parts[1];
$d = $parts[2];
$y = $parts[3];
$date_sql = mysql_real_escape_string($y-$m-$d));
}
else die(Invalid date input.);
?
die() is probably a bit extreme for this, but it's a start.

[PHP] date formatting - no question here just a tip ...
have you ever had the need to programmatically convert a date()
compatible date formatting string with one compatible for strftime()?
I had this problem recently when I had to l10n an existing app (and
support legacy data - which include date() formatting strings - at the
same time) ... I came up with this (it's not very exciting but it might save
someone the rather mindnumbing job of trying to correlate the date()
and strftime() formatting codes - also note that the correlation is not 100%,
in cases where I couldn't find a real/proper match I just did what I thought
was best - which sometimes meant leaving the replacement blank):
function getSTFDateFormat($fmt)
{
static $dfMap = array(
'd' = '%d', // Day of the month, 2 digits with leading zeros
01 to 31
'D' = '%a', // A textual representation of a day, three letters
Mon through Sun
'j' = '%e', // Day of the month without leading zeros 1 to 31
'l' = '%A', // A full textual representation of the day of the week
Sunday through Saturday
'N' = '%u', // ISO-8601 numeric representation of the day of the
week (added in PHP 5.1.0) 1 (for Monday)
through 7 (for Sunday)
'S' = '', // English ordinal suffix for the day of the month, 2
characters st, nd, rd or th. Works well with j
'w' = '%w', // Numeric representation of the day of the week
0 (for Sunday) through 6 (for Saturday)
'z' = '%j', // The day of the year (starting from 0) 0
through 365
'W' = '%V', // ISO-8601 week number of year, weeks starting on
Monday (added in PHP 4.1.0) Example: 42 (the
42nd week in the year)
'F' = '%B', // A full textual representation of a month, such as
January or March January through December
'm' = '%m', // Numeric representation of a month, with leading
zeros 01 through 12
'M' = '%b', // A short textual representation of a month, three
lettersJan through Dec
'n' = '%m', // Numeric representation of a month, without leading
zeros1 through 12
't' = '', // Number of days in the given month 28 through 31
'L' = '', // Whether it's a leap year1 if it is a leap year,
0 otherwise.
'o' = '%G', // ISO-8601 year number. This has the same value as Y,
except that if the ISO week number (W)
belongs to the previous or next year, that year is used instead. (added in PHP
5.1.0) Examples: 1999 or 2003
'Y' = '%Y', // A full numeric representation of a year, 4 digits
Examples: 1999 or 2003
'y' = '%y', // A two digit representation of a year
Examples: 99 or 03
'a' = '%p', // Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem am or pm
'A' = '%p', // Uppercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem AM or PM
'B' = '', // Swatch Internet time000 through 999
'g' = '%I', // 12-hour format of an hour without leading zeros

01 through 12
'H' = '%H', // 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros
00 through 23
'i' = '%M', // Minutes with leading zeros 00 to 59
's' = '%S', // Seconds, with leading zeros 00 through 59
'e' = '%Z', // Timezone identifier (added in PHP 5.1.0)
Examples: UTC, GMT, Atlantic/Azores
'I' = '', // Whether or not the date is in daylight saving time
1 if Daylight Saving Time, 0 otherwise.
'O' = '', // Difference to Greenwich time (GMT) in hours
Example: +0200
'P' = '', // Difference to Greenwich time (GMT) with colon
between hours and minutes (added in PHP 5.1.3)
Example: +02:00
'T' = '%z', // Timezone setting of this machineExamples: EST,
MDT ...
'Z' = '', // Timezone offset in seconds. The offset for
timezones west of UTC is always negative, and for
those east of UTC is always positive. -43200 through 50400
'c' = '%c', // ISO 8601 date (added in PHP 5)

if (strpos($fmt, '%') === false) {

$find[$k] = '#(?!%)'.$v.'#'; // negative lookbehind assertion

[PHP] Date Formatting
How can I format a date coming out of a MySQL? I know how to format today's date but not a date coming out of MySQL. I have looked through the manual, but I must be blind because I cannot figure it out. Thanks, Clint
Re: [PHP] Date Formatting
Use this:
function makedate($format, $indate)
{
$temp = explode(-, $indate);
$fulldate = mktime(0, 0, 0, $temp[1], $temp[2], $temp[0]);
$temp = date($format, $fulldate);
return ($temp);
}
and call it with this:
makedate(F d, Y, $row-datefield);
where $row-datefield is the variable of the date field in your table.

[PHP] Date formatting from a mySQL timestamp
Hi,
I have the following query :
for($i = 0; $i =$num_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_object($result);
echo table width =\100%\ border =\0\ cellpadding = \3\\n
.tr\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-id/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Nombre/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Apellido/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Direccion/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Ciudad/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Telefono/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Mail/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Pais/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\.date(r,
$row-date).td\n
// My problem is it's getting the wrong date no matter what I do, every line
displays Jan 2038 !!!
./tr\n
./table\n;
If I try another strings i got errors the row $date is in MYSQL unix
timestamp. and i would like to format it.
BTW I would like a better alignment and format also ...
TIA
Regards,
Rick

You can save some typing if you just set the bgcolor in the tr, instead of
each td, FYI. Also, align defaults to left, doesn't it? So you can
probably leave that out, also.
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-id/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Nombre/td\n
.td bgcolor = \#ee\ align = \left\$row-Apellido/td\n

I think you're confused here. MySQL uses a different style timestamp than a
Unix timestamp. Unix timestamps are the number of seconds since Jan 01,
1970. MySQL timestamps are in a MMDDHHMMSS format. If you've used a
TIMESTAMP, DATE, or DATETIME column in MySQL, then you have a MySQL
timestamp. The MySQL timestamp is not compatible with the PHP date()
function, it is expecting a Unix timestamp.
So...the solution is one of two things. You can use an INT column and store
the unix timestamp into it. You can create the unix timstamp in PHP with
time(), mktime(), or strtotime() (among others), and format it with the
date() function. Or, you can continue to use a MySQL type timestamp and use
the MySQL function DATE_FORMAT() to format the dates _in your query_.
DATE_FORMAT() is the MySQL equivilent of PHP's date() function. Or, as a
third option, you can use the MySQL UNIX_TIMESTAMP() function to create a
Unix timestamp from the MySQL timestamp and return that to PHP. You can then
use that in your date() function.
Confusing, eh? If you have any questions, I can explain it further.

[PHP] Date Formatting/Reading
Hi! =) I'm doing a website that will be using a pay-per-month membership program. There's a field for 'lastpaid' that holds the date the last paid (sorry to state the obvious). My questions are these: 1) What would be the best way to format it so PHP can see if it's been 30 days since it was last paid? 2) What line of code would be used to check? 3) Would I set the field type to DATE, DATETIME, TIMESTAMP or soemthing else? Any help you can give would be much appreciated! I woulda taken the time to study it more in-depth but I'm trying to get as much done on this in 5 hours as I can. =) ~ Tim -- From PHPGalaxy.com, earn up to $10 per order selling our PHP Scripts and Software on your Site. http://www.phpgalaxy.com/aff/ Also, get a fast free POP3 email account, you @php.la at http://www.phpgalaxy.com/search/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [PHP] Date formatting
Try using the DATE_FORMAT() function within your SQL query string...
$query = SELELCT DATE_FORMAT (your_date_column, '%M %d %Y') FROM
your_table;
where:
%M is the month in full text
%d is the numerical day of the month with leading zeros
%Y is the four digit year
Extract the results as ussual... mysql_fetch_row() or mysql_fetch_array() or
whatever you would use. Let me know if this works becuase I've not tried it
before. Seems like it should work though. Good luck. :-)

I want to specially display a date stored in mysql in date format
-MM-DD
The manual says: string date (string format, int [timestamp])
I tried $FormattedDate = date(F y, Y,${StoredDate})
1999-04-15 spit out December 31, 1969 when I had hoped for April 15,
1999.

[PHP] Date formatting in PHP 3.0
I'm looping through a MSQL db pulling out the dates where I would like to display the date and then the day of the week. The problem is that every date returns the same day of the week, Wed. I checked the documentation and it doesn't say anything about the expression only being executed once during inside the WHILE loop. I've tried: $m = substr($row[0],0,4); $d = substr($row[0],5,2); $y = substr($row[0],8,2); $dy = date (D, mktime(0,0,0,$m,$d,$y)); and just using the date field $dy = date (D, $row[0]); Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[PHP] Date formatting
Hi I am trying to format a date extracted from my DB. I have run my query
and then have used the following to get my row data
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) {
$title = $row["message_title"];
$message = $row["message"];
$event = $row["date_of_event"];
$shortevent = date ("D j M", $event);
I am trying to take $event and make it diplay like this "FRI 06 APR" using
the date function. Although $event outputs like this "2001-04-06 00:00:00"
$shortevent outputs "Thu 1 Jan" which is unix epoch date.
Does anybody know what I am doiing wrong its probably something really
simple but I cant see what.
Matt.

Re: [PHP] Date formatting
Something I almost always do when pulling dates from a mySQL table is
format the date column in the query itself using the mySQL function
DATE_FORMAT()...

Re: [PHP] Date formatting
You need a UNIX timestamp for the second argument in date() - thus you need
to first convert your $even into a timestamp (number of seconds past 1970).
?
$event = '2001-03-15 24:03:34';
list($date,$time) = explode(' ',$event);
list($year,$month,$day) = explode('-',$date);
list($hour,$min,$sec) = explode(':',$time);
$foo = mktime($hour,$min,$sec,$month,$day,$year)."\n";
echo date("D j M",$foo);
?
That would work ...

[PHP] Date Formatting
Cold Fusion has a wonderful function called CreateODBCDate(), which takes as an argument any date in just about any format and returns a standard ODBC date format that you can plug into a database without worrying about conversion. Does PHP have a similar function?

Does PHP have a similar function? I've looked for one but can't
seem to find it anywhere.
From
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php
-
"strtotime - Parse about any english textual datetime
description into a UNIX timestamp"
If the ODBC timestamp looks like
-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
then you could do:
$Date = '1 jan 2001';
ODBCDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($Date));
And if you really want, just define the function
function CreateODBCDate($DateString)
{
return date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($DateString));
}
and you can ease your CF-PHP transition :)
If you want to default to returning the current date:
function CreateODBCDate($DateString='')
{
return
(
$DateString ?
date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($DateString)) :
date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
);
}
Sorry about the weird indent style --- I was trying to avoid wordwrapping.
It doesn't specify in the docs, but I _assume_ strtotime() returns
false if it can't figure out what the date string is...you might want
to test that.
