[PHP] PHP Time
Hello everyone, I know php time() gives the current unix time which you can format out to a normal date and time. Is there a way to format a specific date and time back to unix time? Thanks for any help.

[PHP] Time out issue
I am running Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7 I am running into an issue where no matter what I set the script time out to be the server is Giving me a 500 error after like 60 seconds when the process exceeds the configured activity timeout. Here is the example script ? set_time_limit(120); sleep(100); Echo PASSED THE TIME OUT; ? I fully understand this may not be a PHP error but if anyone has ran into this issue with a windows server and can explain in detail how I can adjust the timeout, I would be very grateful. Everything I have read online points to a fcgiext.ini file that does not exist on my server. Anyone know how to help ?

[PHP] Time zones are spinning my brain
Help. I'm using PayPal's API to get a report of all the yesterday's
transactions. I'm in California, and I define yesterday as California's
yesterday, midnight to midnight.
PayPal wants the STARTDATE and ENDDATE provided in UTC/GMT. I'm building and
testing my report using this:
$start = gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.00\Z', strtotime(yesterday 00:00:00));
$end = gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.00\Z', strtotime(yesterday 23:59:59));
which produces:
2011-06-28T07:00:00.00Z
2011-06-29T06:59:59.00Z
I think this is right, since it's 7 hours off California time, but I just need
someone to double check my spinning head. Will this give me the PayPal
transactions that arrived during California's yesterday, or do I need to change
something?

Something like this ?
?php
$o_Start = new DateTime('00:00:00.000', $o_CalifTZ = new
DateTimeZone('America/Los_Angeles'));
$o_End = new DateTime('23:59:59.999', $o_CalifTZ);
echo date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.00\Z', $o_Start-getTimestamp()), ' to ',
date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.99\Z', $o_End-getTimestamp()), PHP_EOL;
And UTC is not the same as GMT. Ish.
GMT is only valid for 6 months of the year. Then, due to DST, it becomes BST.
UTC is just UTC.
Also, your DST may not be on the same day as GMT-BST.
Using the timezone America/Los_Angeles holds all the various shifts in
DST and offset that have been recorded, so you can use current local
time (shifted with DST just like you would read off your watch of PC)
with that timezone and PHP can work out what the timestamp is.
It sounds a little messy, but the TLA timezones aren't always sufficient.
Derick did a really good talk about this a couple of years ago for
php|Architect. I'm sure there's a video somewhere of it.
All makes perfect sense in the end.

Assuming your timezone is set to California time (
date_default_timezone_set ('America/Los_Angeles') ), then yes.

For all practical purposes, GMT and UTC are the same. The fact that the time in Greenwich is not GMT/UTC for half the year is not relevant. http://www.diffen.com/difference/GMT_vs_UTC All the GM* functions (gmdate, gmstrftime, etc) are intended for dealing with Universal Co-ordinated Time.

It probably is if this is where your site is hosted. But all you need to
do is change hosting providers to one somewhere else, or for someone who's
not careful to mess something up on the system, and the script will break
all because you assumed it would always be right. So better to set it and
know it's right.

a few thoughts,
1. set error_reporting to E_ALL to see if the engine is trying to tell you

Sorry, failed to mention that I did this, and it says nothing.
2. for grins, maybe see if the TZ environment variable is set on your system
var_dump(getenv('TZ'));
I didn't post the phpinfo() output originally but had checked and no,
TZ isn't set.
3. another test would be to set date.timezone to something else and see if
date_default_timezone_get() returns that new value, which would indicate
it's falling through to the third option in the precedence chain.
AHA!
I had tried checking validity by setting a BOGUS time zone (which
showed that it was taking effect), but I had not tried checking by
setting an alternate VALID time zone.
Guess what? It works. If I set it to America/Denver, I get correct output.
Thus, something is corrupt in the timezone DB itself (which I believe
is internal to PHP from what I understand from the threads I've read).
America/Chicago is completely broken but America/Denver works just fine.
Incidentally, I have noticed that CentOS is completely broken in their
tz distro. Every time it updates, it includes a US/Central file that
is completely invalid. This has persisted for months--at the OS level
I've fixed it by copying in a valid US/Central file from another box.
But doing that does not fix PHP (tried that just now)--which again I'd
expect it not to anyway, since I believe PHP (as of PHP5) has an
internal timezone DB. But I tried it just in case.
So now I suppose the thread becomes: how do I get a valid US/Central
(America/Chicago) timezone in PHP5?
Thanks much,
Dan

That's OK, I knew this was coming. It's been a real struggle to be deploying something so old, yet CentOS insists on nothing but 5.1 in the packages unless you resort to some volatile repositories, which kind of defeats the purpose (in my case, that is). I used to always go with source directly but was really hoping to go the somewhat-brainless auto-update route, sticking to yum packages and all that. At risk of sending this thread too far down an OS-specific path, can anybody in the CentOS+PHP world comment on yum packages, 5.1, and this actual issue? (In the very beginning I scoured the Net, thinking surely 5.1.6 can't be the standard on CentOS, but kept running into the either go from source yourself or use volatile repositories claims, which aren't good in an enterprise case, though I realize using source isn't bad from that standpoint).

Greetings,
I've looked through a number of different archived threads (some
rather heated) and samples as well, but clearly I'm just missing
something.
PHP 5.1.6
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
My server is in Central Time (US). We do observe DST. I noticed
functions like strftime() display UTC time. So I undertook fixing
this.
I read several threads about setting date.timezone in php.ini, and
arguments for/against different timezone methods. But in my case I see
no reason why setting the timezone in php.ini would hurt us--we can
live with that. And yet:
[...@ez2 html 13:47:20]$ date
Mon Nov 1 13:50:05 CDT 2010
Good.
[...@ez2 html 13:50:05]$ grep -i timezone /etc/php.ini
date.timezone = America/Chicago
Good--and yes, Apache was restarted. So far, we're Central, life is good.
Let's hit PHP now:
?
if (date_default_timezone_get()) {
echo 'date_default_timezone_get: ' . date_default_timezone_get() . 'br /';
}
if (ini_get('date.timezone')) {
echo 'date.timezone: ' . ini_get('date.timezone');
}
echo Br;
$localtime = localtime();
$localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true);
print_r($localtime);
print_r($localtime_assoc);
echo Br . strftime(%D %T %z %Z) . br;
?
Which produces:
date_default_timezone_get: America/Chicago
date.timezone: America/Chicago
Array ( [0] = 14 [1] = 51 [2] = 18 [3] = 1 [4] = 10 [5] = 110
[6] = 1 [7] = 304 [8] = 0 ) Array ( [tm_sec] = 14 [tm_min] = 51
[tm_hour] = 18 [tm_mday] = 1 [tm_mon] = 10 [tm_year] = 110
[tm_wday] = 1 [tm_yday] = 304 [tm_isdst] = 0 )
11/01/10 18:51:14 + UTC
Timezone is America/Chicago, yet date functions completely ignore this
and continue to display UTC.
Please help me understand where I'm blind here.
Thanks,
Dan

Greetings,
I've looked through a number of different archived threads (some
rather heated) and samples as well, but clearly I'm just missing
something.
PHP 5.1.6
CentOS release 5.5 (Final)
My server is in Central Time (US). We do observe DST. I noticed
functions like strftime() display UTC time. So I undertook fixing
this.
I read several threads about setting date.timezone in php.ini, and
arguments for/against different timezone methods. But in my case I see
no reason why setting the timezone in php.ini would hurt us--we can
live with that. And yet:

Please help me understand where I'm blind here.
a few thoughts,
1. set error_reporting to E_ALL to see if the engine is trying to tell you
something you may be overlooking
2. for grins, maybe see if the TZ environment variable is set on your system
var_dump(getenv('TZ'));
3. another test would be to set date.timezone to something else and see if
date_default_timezone_get() returns that new value, which would indicate
it's falling through to the third option in the precedence chain.
lastly you might see if the calling date_default_timezone_set() does the
trick.

[PHP] Time Problem: always ten past xx
Hey everybody,
I've got a strange problem. Using PHP5.3 on my MacBook.
There is a script, which handles input from user, in this case a date
and time.
So I get for example 10:30 and 06.10.2009. Standard german time
format. Now I try to get the correct timestamp:
$time = strtotime(06.10.2009 10:30);
var_dump($time);
var_dump(strftime(%d.%m.%Y %H:%m,$time));
But the result is as
int 1254817800
string '06.10.2009 10:10' (length=16)
The minutes are always 10, no matter what time I get.
Anyone a clue?
Thanks, Mattes
P.S.: default timezone is set to
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Berlin');

RE: [PHP] Time Problem: always ten past xx
Hi Mert,
But we're not talking about date() here, we're talking strftime().
According to the manual %i doesn't do anything in strftime(). Closest match
is %I which is 12-hour format for hours.

[PHP] Time keeping in DB
So, obviously not PHP related, but I'm looking for thoughts on the best way to record time sheets in a DB. A time sheet for hours worked per day, not like a time clock where you start and stop. The two possibilities that I have thought of are (these are simplistic, of course I'll be storing references to the user, the project code etc.): 1. One record for each 7 day week (year, week_num, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7) where the dX field holds the hours worked 2.

You don't mention what DB you're using, but mySQL can be quite a pain when dealing with multiple time zones. Not impossible, but a hassle none the less. Be sure to set aside a place to store this (and another spot for user preferences to keep track of their TZ).

Shawn McKenzie nos...@mckenzies.net wrote: So, obviously not PHP related, but I'm looking for thoughts on the best way to record time sheets in a DB. A time sheet for hours worked per day, not like a time clock where you start and stop. The two possibilities that I have thought of are (these are simplistic, of course I'll be storing references to the user, the project code etc.): 1. One record for each 7 day week (year, week_num, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7) where the dX field holds the hours worked 2. One record for each day (date, hours) -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com Depends on what you are looking to do.. Are you also needing to keep whether or not a specific project? If it is regular time/Overtime? It may be easier to set the database up: user,week,day,project,hours,type Then you can query the info/user off that, it should allow you to expand as needed.

[PHP] Time limit on recursive procedure?
I have a recursive procedure, and I set the time limit each time I enter it:
function rec_scan($directory, ..)
{
set_time_limit (1);
if (is_dir($new_file))
{
rec_scan ($new_file, )
}
}
The way I read the manual, the timer should be reset each time I call
rec_scanl, but I
seem to have to set a longer time limit than I would have anticipated, and I
wonder if in
fact the original time limit still applies to the original invocation?

You keep calling it so as long as the execution time between each call

Thanks. That's what I thought. I'm using it to back up my working directory to
another
drive, and a 3 second limit wasn't long enough, so one of the directories must
take longer

You are doing a lot of calculation on this combining both PHP and SQL code.
How many rows are you affecting with this query at one time?
I hate to say it, but this to me is just begging for a unix timestamps, then
you can simply deal with the seconds remaining on this counter.

$end_time is not a great name for it: it's the time (number of
seconds) it took to go from $t1 to $t2. $duration might be better.

Eh? time() + 300 is five minutes from now.

Please stop top-posting. I'm fully aware of what it's for == I am aware of its purpose. My point was that time() gives you seconds since the UNIX epoch, whereas microtime(true) will give you more accurate results if you are looking to benchmark a script. If your script takes a few minutes and you don't really care about measuring those milli/micro seconds, then time() should suit your needs just fine. However, if your script can perform an iteration in less than one second, you have already eliminated the usefulness of time() for benchmarks. -- // Todd -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Don't forget--microtime() without the boolean true as an argument
will split the result into two parts. Using true as the argument
(minus quotes, of course) gives you a floating-point representation of
seconds/milliseconds/etc.

[PHP] Time zones and $_ENV vs getenv
Hello people.
Argentina changed timezones (Oct 19th), just two weeks ago, and, as PHP
has a separate table, I forgot to change the zones both in my machine and
on the server. I did so yesterday, and have some problems. Here's what I
did:
1) Downloaded the latest timezonedb (2008.9), compiled and installed it
locally and on the server. Apparently no problem there.
2) I have a calendar on my pages
(http://www.jcoppens.com/kayak/peperina/agenda.phpuniz=1) which shows
the unix time stamp if the cursor is above a date (just to help
debugging). The stamps coincide till Oct 19th, then differ by one hour
(as compared to my PC).
At the remote server, the time seems correct (-0200), on my machine it
isn't (-0300). I _did_ restart my apache, and yes, the php.ini is correct.
One strange thing I noticed (on both my machine and the server) is that
$_ENV['TZ'] was empty, while getenv('TZ') was correctly set
(America/Argentina/Cordoba).
I'm confused... Can someone point me to some more tests I could do?
Thanks,
John

You should convert your times to minutes so you can use minute
intervals... the following was written directly into the email and so it
is UNTESTED:
?php
$bits = explode( ':', $currentTime );
$currentTime = $bits[0] * 60 + $bits[1];
$bits = explode( ':', $endTime );
$endTime = $bits[0] * 60 + $bits[1];
$interval = 15; // minutes
for( $i = $currentTime; $i = $endTime; $i += $interval )
{
$time = floor( $i / 60 ).':'.($i % 60).':00';
}
?
Adapt to fit your needs.
Note: I used a time interval like you state in your above description (X
mins). But the code you submitted used appeared to use number of time
slices instead.
Cheers,
Rob.

Adapt to fit your needs.
Note: I used a time interval like you state in your above description (X
mins). But the code you submitted used appeared to use number of time
slices instead.

[PHP] PHP time out for socket_recvfrom or socket_read block call
Hi, How can use time out mechanism in PHP when calling socket_recvfrom or socket_read (in block service)? I know the non-block system call can be used, but I need to use a block system call, the block socket_recvfrom or socket_read should be either returned to be failed, or canceled when a time out is occurred. Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

What type of database are you using? You can probably do this right in
the database. If MySQL you can do the following:
select DATE_FORMAT(time_column, '%h:%i:%s %p') from your_table;
Tests:
mysql select DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 14:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p');
+---+
| DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 14:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p') |
+---+
| 02:19:00 PM |
+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
mysql select DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 04:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p');
+---+
| DATE_FORMAT('2007-07-16 04:19:00', '%h:%i:%s %p') |
+---+
| 04:19:00 AM |
+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Thank you VERY much Jay, Chris and Gary!

LOL -- do you think that the military gives a hoot about daylight savings time? That's one of those civilian things. In military time, Oh Dark Thirty, is $#%# early regardless of what civilians do. :-) I use a date-time field as a primary key in db tables that get an insert a minute. I had to jump through a number of hoops to turn off DST on the (RH Linux) server. If it was critical to have a absolute date/time stamp, such as in a patient's registration on an organ transplant list, then I would hope that the people in charge would work with an absolute time and not one subject to DST or even subject to which time zone the patient is located. Sometimes even seconds count for selecting which patient is entitled to the transplant. If they don't use an absolute time, then it would be better for a patient to register for a transplant on the west coast (or even further west) than the east coast, and that doesn't sound right, does it? But, I don't specifically know what method they use. Any idea? tedd -- --- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

David UTC (or GMT, or Zulu, or Z) does not observe Daylight Savings Time. In any database that you store timestamps and need to know exactly what that timestamp means you should use UTC, then use application logic to translate to the users time zone. Another option would be to store epoch time (seconds since the OS's epoch) and work the same result from that, I prefer storing human-readable timestamps even if you have to do the datemath in your head to read them in your own timezone. Epoch does not count leap-seconds like UTC so it can be off by a tiny bit at any given time. Epoch time also differs on different operating systems - Unix is 1970-01-01 at 00:00:00 UTC, Windows seems to use 1601-01-01 at 00:00:00 UTC... I don't know if that would ever matter though - I imagine the database server would mask this and the application would port to windows without problems (no idea.) UTC has no DST from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_zone Due to daylight saving time, UTC is local time at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Observatory%2C_Greenwich only between 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in October and 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday in March. For the rest of the year, local time there is UTC+1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC%2B1, known in the United Kingdom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom as British Summer Time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Summer_Time (BST).

[PHP] Time-Zone juggling
I have a PostgreSQL database chockful of datatype:
time without time zone
The times I chucked in there are, like, '7:00 PM' and they all seem
fine...
Until I start trying to generate an RFC 882 datetime stamp. :-(
At that point, the fact that the server lives in Portland OR, and my
times are all based in Chicago means that my output is:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 17:00:00 PDT
even though the actual date/time in question is REALLY at 20:00 in
Chicago.
I'm just doing the naive:
select whatdate, whattime from ...
list($y, $m, $d) = explode('-', $whatdate);
list($h, $i, $s) = explode(':', $whattime);
$datetime_882 = date(DATE_RFC882, mktime($h, $i, $s, $m, $d, $y));
This is PHP4, and I've done an if(!defined()) define() to get the
DATE_RFC882 constant.
What is the least-stupid way to fix this, and get 20:00 in the
Portland OR server to turn into:
Mon, 03 Apr 2006 20:00:00 CDT
which is what time it really was.
E. Without changing the schema which means having to re-do
everything else in the application. That's probably the RIGHT way to
fix it, but that ain't happening.
I've been dinking with gmmktime() and reading about setlocale() but
none of them seem to be the Right Answer.
I got a couple stupid ways I think I could fix it, and I'd rather not
do those, cuz they're stupid. :-)
E.g., str_replace(array('PDT', 'PST'), array('CDT', 'CST'), $datetime);
This time zone stuff always gets me head all spun around, I admit freely.

I ran into the same stuff a few weeks ago with the DST change. The quickest solution that is *almost* OK is using putenv(tz=america/montreal) or putenv(tz=america/san_diego) etc.. (should really be the date_default_timezone_get/set functions) Datetime fields do not have timezone stored (mysql too.) The only real solution to this problem is to always store datetimes in GMT/UTC. That is the correct thing to do, and until that is done our workaround still has one problem (that isn't big enough to warrant reworking the ticketing code that inserts to the db...) The remaining problem is that until we store in UTC we will never know which 01:30:00 a timestamp refers to, EDT or EST (Eastern Daylight, or Eastern Standard.) In UTC this doesn't happen. Of course there is no problem for spring, only in the fall time change. This can be a big problem to some apps, and others might be fine with the workaround like we've done where you loose a tiny bit of data (It's 08:00 on the day after the timechange, is this ticket from 01:30:00 6.5 or 7.5 hours old? who cares.. just reply.)
