Checking TimeStamp Against Today
How can I check if a date/time unix timestamp in the format of:
$mytime = "1186439997";
Is within 5 days of the current unix timestamp? Basically I need to check if the passed in timestamp was generated within 5 days of today?

Converting An SQL TIMESTAMP Into Unix Timestamp
I look over the docs on MySQL, and I'm assuming MS SQL will be quite similar. I am trying to decide how best to pull this off. I am anticipating a need to take the typical SQL TIMESTAMP and convert it to an Unix Timestamp... Now, as I look at this a TIMESTAMP stores namely a "numerical" format in a 14 Digit String. I'm just wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to how I might split this into the componenets (4d Year/3d Month/2d Day/HH MM SS) so that it could be passed through mktime() (which will give me the unix version). Actually, I think I may have an approach.. perhaps using the php substr() function.. since it returns a "defined" portion of a string.. if $x was our timestamp, we'd have to pass it through the substr() function a few times, to pull out the pieces we wanted.
Looping Until Today
I want to loop through dates, stopping at the current date I set the enddate like this $enddate=date('Y-m-d'); which prints out as ��-04-01' $l['cc_startdate'] comes from a DB with the column in date format but when i do for ($dl=$l['cc_startdate'];$dl < $enddate;$dl++) { print $dl; blah }
Today / Yesterday
What I am trying to do is show todays date as today and yesterdays date as yesterday. for example: if ($row['postdate'] = date('Y-m-d') { echo "Today"; } else if { ($row['postdate'] = date('Y-m-(d-1')[not sure of proper code yet still learning]); echo "Yesterday"; } else { echo $row['postdate']; }
Record From Today 0 Time ()
I have the date stored using time () which produces an 11 digit long number which is then stored in the database as an 11 digit integer in an "int" field. I'm just trying to work out how I can find all records from today according to their int time value.
Today, Yesterday And Tomorrow
OK, have a problem with setting variables that will change automatically for $today, $tomorrow and $yesterday....when I do a search by a MySQL date (20011008) it works, but I have tried multiple ways to set those variables, with no luck. I either need help solving this problem, OR.....is there a way to simply go by NOW and use items before and after now? That would be a workaround that I could manage.

Get All Entries From Today (mysql)
I currently have a page that each time a user visits it, the pageid and timestamp is thrown into a mysql daabase. so the database looks like so: linkid time 3 2007-08-22 17:26:21 3 2007-08-20 17:26:21 3 2007-08-22 18:36:59 2 2007-08-22 18:37:21 What i need is for php to show the total amount of visits today as per a certain time zone (or if thats not possible, the past 24 hours) soo.. Search for all occurrences where linkid = 3 today for a specific timezone (or 24 hours) MORE SPECIFICALLY User 1: Lives in New York (EST -5) registers for my site and sends visitors to his linkid (3) After two days, this is what the mysql table looks like: linkid time 3 -=- 2007-08-22 17:26:21 3 -=- 2007-08-20 17:26:21 3 -=- 2007-08-22 18:36:59 But mysql time isn't Eastern time, its another timezone. So when a visitor comes to user1's page at 3pm EST, mysql registers the time as 2007-08-22 17:26:21 So... I want to first add/subtract the number of numbers in the mysql database depending upon the user, and then see the amount of visitors for the day.
How To Figure Out If Today Is 1st, 2nd, 3rd Thurs Of The Month?

Sort Results By Date/time, Limit 5 Database Entries Of Today &/or Upcoming Days
I'm designing a website for my fraternity and in the database I have entries which contain past events, todays events, and upcoming events. My problem is that I can not figure out how to sort the query results to display: 1) only past events based on the CURRENT DATE 2) only the events which fall on the CURRENT DATE or after, limiting the results to 5 entries 3) all events that fall on CURRENT DATE or afterwards Example: Today is September 15, 2007 Problem 1) Displaying all events that happened before September 15, 2007 Problem 2) Displaying only 5 results that fall on September 15, 2007 or after Problem 3) Displaying all events that are happening on or after September 15, 2007 And obviously I would like the CURRENT DATE to change depending on what date it is, currently. Ok so now I've been very redundant in my explanation of my problem here is the code and a link to what that particular page looks like. Code:

Script For "updated Today" Blogroll?
Hi all - I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to make a page of blog links that show (1) the most recent posts for each blog, and (2) whether that blog was updated recently. I am happy to say I've accomplished objective #1 by using the magpie XML parser, and I now have a php page that links to the most recent blog posts from several blogs. My issue is with objective #2. I've seen some scripts that create blogrolls using blo.gs to show recency, but I don't want a whole blogroll - I just want a simple script that says something like "if the blog was updated today, do this, otherwise, do that". Is anyone familiar with such a script? Or do people have other ideas of how to do this?

Timestamp On URL
how I can fetch the current time and parse it together with a URL. Example: Let's say there's text link.

Timestamp
I have a field in a mySQL table that is defined as timestamp. It auto updates itself whenever I do an update on the record. I want to be able to take the current time and compare it to the time in the record, and find out how much of a time difference exsits between the two in hours, mins, secs. I'm currently using time() to get the current time, but it seems that the time returns things in a different format then timestamp stores in. If I can get the mysql timestamp converted to the way time() displays it, then I'd assume I could just do some division as the time() is in the # of seconds from some date in the 70s.. correct?
Timestamp
I am generating a 'timer' for my website. So i have time()+3600 and then if timer > time then they can't do an activity.

I have the format 0000-00-00 00:00:00 or something, and it's not what i expected! Is there some other way to do it, so i can do time() + 300 for 5minutes increase on the timer?

Timestamp Compare..
Hi there, I've got two sets of dates, start / end and start / end If I convert my dates into timestamps - is there a quick way to compare them & see if any of the dates overlap.. ? Im using a MYSQL database, & the dates are in text format - eg 20060527 etc (year month day).. Though - Im at the very start of the database - so would storing the start/end dates in Timestamps be faster ? (use a MYSQL query command ??)

Inaccurate Timestamp
The server my data is on is in, I believe, South Africa. The time is off not only by several hours (because of a timezone difference) but by several minutes and seconds, and even a few months. Because time() runs server side, I always get a horribly inaccurate timestamp. I tried putenv('TZ-US/Eastern') and then calling time() and it's closer to the actual time, but it's off by one hour and a few minutes. Is there some way I can access an accurate timestamp from somewhere through PHP? Perhaps I can use date() to correct for it? I see in the documentation that there is a way to offset the timezone using a value 'Z' in the function, but I have no way how to actually implement this, and I haven't found any examples to help me out. I also wouldn't know how to compensate for the difference in months and days in the timestamp.

Get Timestamp Of Date
I have a date object which I want to get the timestamp for. The date is 24/8/2007 18:30:00 I simply want to determine what the timestamp is for this date and time so that I can compare it against the current timestamp. The problem is that the timestamp is for the current time, not the date and time that I have specified. Here is my code: $mydate = date("d-m-Y : H:i:s", mktime(18, 30, 0, 8, 24, 2007)); $datestamp = time($mydate); echo 'My date: '.$mydate.' - Date stamp: '.$datestamp;

How Do I Remove This Timestamp?

How do I truncate the timestamp off? By the way, only the date is entered into the database, so PHP must be adding the timestamp.

Doing Math With Timestamp
got a DB with TimeIn and TimeOut Fields, they are set up as INT and am using strtotime when these fields are populated. I can get the math to find out the amount of time allotted between the two times <SNIPPET> $doseconds = $row_getLastPunch['TimeOut'] - $row_getLastPunch['TimeIn'] </SNIPPET> Now I know to take the number and divide by 60 to get the minutes, and then another 60 to get the hours. here is where my problem starts and my skill level stops. Say I have a final answer that breaks down to 98 minutes (5880 seconds) when I go to get the hours (98 divide by 60) I get '1.6333~ hours' which is correct math, I would rather it display '1:38 hours' or something close to that.
