Sluggers,
After the huge response to the C programing question of last week,
here's one in a 'C' syntactic look a like.
<?php
$time=array(
"2005-10-30 01:59",
"2005-10-30 02:01",
"2005-10-30 02:05",
"2005-10-30 03:01");
foreach ($time as $t)
print " $t ==> ".strtotime($t)."\n";
?>
Produces;
2005-10-30 01:59 ==> 1130601540
2005-10-30 02:01 ==> 1130601660 <---
2005-10-30 02:05 ==> 1130601900
2005-10-30 03:01 ==> 1130601660 <--- Opps going back in time here!
Ok so the issue is daylight savings. How can I convert the said list of
dates (which are in UTC) to epoch seconds (which are also UTC) using php
*without* changing the timezome of the server (Sydney time)?
"strtotime" doesn't have a timezone argument. Does anyone have a good
alternative?
"2005-10-30 01:59+0" didn't work btw.
(Php 5.0.4 on FC4 if that's of importance)
TIA's
Pete.
You could try mktime or gmmktime. I think they have a parameter to force
non-daylight-savings which should give the same time as UTC. Little
inconvenient in terms of the input date and time though.
