My system clock is set to the correct date, time and timezone, get the
results returned by date() are 11 hours behind.

Returning False On Date Function
I need to get someone's age in years + months for different dates. For some reason, my input check isn't working and I keep getting a mktime error? Is there an easier way to return false if dates aren't splitting or numeric? PHP Code: function getAge($date, $futureDate=false) { if(preg_match('/^[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4}$/', $date) === false) { return false; } elseif($futureDate!=false && preg_match('/^[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{4}$/', $futureDate) === false) { return false; } $p = split('[/.-]', trim($date)); $start = mktime(0, 0, 0, $p[0], $p[1], $p[2]); $end = mktime(); // 1970s unix bday if($futureDate!==false) { $p = split('[/.-]', trim($futureDate)); // delimiter can be slash, dot, .........................................

Converting Time Stamp To 'normal' Date Function
I'm looking for a bit of code/formulae to convert unix time stamp info into a conventional date format. I have a file that generates invoices from data requested from an sql table - trouble is it brings in the date as a timestamp. I'm looking for something I can plug into the php invoice file rather than altering the database.

Question About The "date / Time" Continuum - Timestamp Or Add Date As Varchar?
I have a new project that consists of work order tracking. It's nice cause I can use a lot of the same code from my last project which was delivery tracking. However when I tried to create a MySQL table using two timestamp fields, it stopped me. MySQL will only allow one timestamp. So I did some googling and now am thinking I can use the php date function to get the date format of my choice and post the results into a textfield then post to MySQL as a varchar. I'll still be able to sort date records the same in my queries and it's easier for me as a n00b to manipulate the data; Ditching the time and creating expressions / queries on timestamp fields gives me fits.

Show Time / Date To Reflect Eastern Standard Time
my web host is located on the west coast i live on the east coast so if my page shows the date: $day = date(d); $mth = date(m); $yr = date(y); echo $day . "-" . $mth . "-" . $yr; i shows the date as of west coast time. so the time now is 1:40am april 6, 2007 my page will still show april 5, since west coast is 3 hours back. (10:40pm apr 5) how do i compensate for this time zone difference? i want my time / date to always reflect eastern standard time.

Date And Time Help
I have a mySQL field that is a timestamp(14). I know that mySQL's NOW() function will insert the current timestamp into that field, but I need to do it a little different. I have a variable called $days that may be 30, 60, or 90, and I want my database to hold the equivalent of NOW() + $days. For example, I might need the value of the timestamp to be 30 days from the present. I figure the best way to do this is to use PHP's mktime() to construct a $futuretime variable that holds the timstamp I want and then insert it into mySQL and bypass the use of mySQL's NOW(). Can someone offer advice on how to do it this way, or on a better solution?

Specified Date And Time
I have a page I would like to only load on a specified date and time. How would I go about this. In other words, if someone went to the page before the defined time/date, it would say something like "Thank you, please come back in X days". On the assigned date, the full content of the page would load. Does this make sense?

Sql Query Not Returning Correct Results
i'm using an entry in an sql database as a semaphore and it, unfortunately, doesn't appear to be working. the script that spawns the child processes has a for loop that performs the same basic sql query over and over again until the value has changed (there's a one second delay between each query). unfortunately, the resultant row is always the same, even when the other process *has* changed it. as an example, if the orig. value was of the entry was 0, and one second into the execution of the second process, the entry was changed to 1, my program would, even 10 seconds later, fetch 0. in other words, it'd never be aware of the change. any idea as to why this is and what i can do to fix it?

Date And Time Different From Server
My current time offset is GMT wich is different from the server that I use, what I want to do is to create a $time variable and a $date variable with the time in the GMT offset and not the server's offset. I think I have to use mktime to do this but I don't know how to use it. I wnat the $time in "hh:mm" format (24h) and the $date in "dd/mm/yyyy" and also one (let's say $date2) in "dd/mm".

Determining Date/time
I'm retreiving all timestamps by user_id from a database and want to print to screen the week that the date falls in. For example, if I retrieve today's date - 07/24/01, a tuesday, I want to create a link - 07/24/01-07/29/01. (which is Monday - Sunday.) I want to retrieve all of the timestamps, and loop out the results in the format above (eg. 07/24/01-07/29/01) for every date in the table. The results would look like this: 07/24/01-07/29/01 07/30/01-08/05/01 08/06/01-08/12/01 Sample code that I have is below, I have been going back and forth trying to do this with mysql functions, or doing it with php date() The second query is commented out, but this was another way that I was considering doing this. I can't figure out how to find the week, Monday-Sunday, of any given date. Sample Code:
