Re: [PHP] Need help with timestamp....
As I understand it,
* "strftime" takes a format string and an integer timestamp and returns a
date string
* "date" takes a different type of format string and an integer timestamp
and returns a date string
In both cases they default to using the timestamp for the current time.
SO: what you code is doing is
1) Calculating a date string using "date" based on the current time
2) Passing that string to strfttime at a point where it is expecting an integer
timestamp, and that is being interpreted as 0 or -1 ( not sure which )
Maybe just:
define('SUB_BAR_TITLE', strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG));

Re: [PHP] Need help with timestamp....
if you want the current time all you have to do is this.. :)
echo date("l d F, Y g:i A")
that will out put:
Thursday 05 July, 2001 7:52 PM
or whatever time your system is at it will echo it in that format.. hope
that helps!
