Converting Date To Minutes


I have $x="200504161035"
that is 10:35 on 16 April 2005.

My questuion: what is the *shortest* piece of code to convert that variable
to minutes? I have a feeling there is a PHP function that should be able to
do it but I cannot find it. The long way takes 5 lines of code.

Converting Timestamp Into Minutes And Seconds
I am timing employees who take a test. I have the start time and end
time, which are unix epochs, and subtracing the start from the end
will give me a large number of seconds, for example 552.
I want to convert this into minutes and seconds.

Regex Issue - Converting A Written Date To A Timestamp
I have a problem, somehow through one of my scripts, all the timestamps in my database were set to 0000-00-00 00:00:00. I can fix this because one of the fields contains the written date in this format "Wednesday, June 7, 2006", I think I need to make a regex expression that can read that and generate a new timestamp from it,

I'm just not sure where to start because I've barely used regex. Some of the dates are not in that format because it contains over two years worth of data, and I want to just delete the ones that are not in that format as well. I'd appreciate any help here, I'm kind of stumped. Once I match the expression I can generate the timestamp, but I don't know how to match it.

Cookies Are 2 Minutes Off In IE (with Setcookie)
I'm testing pages using cookies set with setcookie.  I suddenly started experiencing failures in IE. But Firefox was still fine. I noticed that it had to do with the cookie expiry time  (I have v. 7).  I had lowered the expiry threshold so I wouldn't have to keep clearing my browser cookies to test.

Is there some kind of minimum expiry time for IE??  Like 2 minutes...? Does IE shave two minutes off the top? Here's what I found:

time() + 3600 gives me 58 minutes in IE and 1 hour in Firefox
time() + 60 gives nothing I have time to notice in IE and a minute in firefox
time() + 120 gives me a couple seconds in IE and 2 min in firefox

Is this an IE "feature" or is it me that's doing something wrong?  I am new to this after all... example of how i set the cookies:

$hour = time() + 120;
setcookie(wpsite, $_POST['username'], $hour);

does work for the most part, just that little issue so far. I don't care whether it's fixable or not, it's just that I though I was going crazy at first when I was trying to troubleshoot the problem; could not figure out what was going on initially.

Set A Session To Expire In 20 Minutes

Session To Expire After 30 Minutes
I have a guestbook where I want the users to be able to delete their own posts. This is a part of my code: PHP Code:

session_cache_expire(30);
session_start();
    $_SESSION[('unique_id')] = session_id();
    $sessionen = $_SESSION[('unique_id')];

PHP Code:

// Here is decided if the user is able to delete the post
if ($sessionen == $rad[sess_id]) {
print ("<a href=gastbok.php?remove=$rad[id]><img src=../Ikoner/delete.gif alt=Delete this post width=27 height=14 border=0 align=middle onclick="return raderaInlagg()"></a>");
}

The thing is that I want the session to expire after 30 minutes (if the user forgets to close down the browser), but I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

Number Of Minutes Etc. Between Two Times

$songinfo = mysql_fetch_array($select);

$todaysdate = date("YmdHis");

How would one work out how many days, hours, minutes and seconds were between these two dates?

Script Termination And Reload After 5 Minutes
Strange problem on a lamp installation: A script runs longer than 5
minutes and sends no output to the browser until it is finished. When
called at customer site it gets stopped after exactly 5 minutes and is
reloaded automatically 4 times, then it gives up. This is logged in
Apache access log.

I have no clue what causes the reload after 5 minutes of "no data
received". Could be the browser, could be the proxy. I even do not have
a problem with the behaviour, you could avoid that by sending something
to the browser periodically.

BUT: The script gets stopped completely after the 5 minute period. That
is what I dont like... No PHP log entry, no apache log entry about that.
Just like killed. "ignore_user_abort" is enabled in PHP configuration.

Any ideas what causes the script termination and how that can be avoided?
