Strtotime - Get The Dates Converted?
I inherited a website with an SQL database. I need to pull information from the database into Excel for future use but the date fields are in strtotime from what I can tell. (Example: 1149996306). Is there a formula I can plug into Excel that would allow me to convert these dates to actual dates I can use? Or is there a SQL script that I can insert in MySQL or Access to get the dates converted?

How I Could Compare Two Dates To Find The Number Of Days That Seperate Them.
I was wondering how I could compare two dates to find the number of days that seperate them. For instance, after a user signs up to my website, they would see a specific message for only a week. Obviously this is easy if they signed up on the 14th and today is the 16th, but what about if they signed up on the 29th, then I need to figure out for the next month.

The Old "compare Dates" Thing
I've been looking all over the place for a compare dates script that will work in my instance. I can't find one. This shouldn't be difficult, unless you're like me and get nose bleeds when trying to do anything related to numbers. I'm having a hell of a time wrapping my head around strtotime() and the epoch. Plus, I can't see straight right now Here's what I want to do. 1. user joins. 2. thank you email is sent 3. if account is not activated within 3 days, send a reminder email // i think it's like this $today $date_joined $cutoff_date = ($today + 30 days) if($date_joined >= ($cutoff_date - 3 days)) { //do something } 1. user joins 2. user has 30 days to try account 3. 3 days before account is to be deleted, reminder email is sent // again, I'm "thinking" $date_joined $reminder_date = ($today + 3 days) if($date_joined >= $reminder_date) { do something }

Dates In Range Falling Between Existing Dates
The latest quandry I have is that I need to: a: check whether any dates in a date range entered by a client in a form (datefrom, dateto) conflict with any existing date ranges already in the database. -this is a check to see whether the dates that a customer is trying to book are not already booked- Obviously its easy to get the numbers out of the database (i.e. 28/12/2006 or whatever format) and from the form but how to I convert this 'range' actually into a range I can loop through that will return true if any of the dates are the same (i.e. already booked)? b: is similar in that I want to check how many of the clients entered dates fall into the pre assigned high, mid and low season ranges in the database and multiply each of those days by the corresponding price.

A Bug With Strtotime
Something seems to be wrong with the strtotime function in PHP5. I've created a staff resourcing database, which is used to assign staff to projects on a weekly basis. The database stores assignments against a week ending date, which is derived using: PHP Code: $week = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('Sunday')) This works fine, $week is set to the current week ending date (Sunday) using this. However, I also create $nextweek and $lastweek using: PHP Code: $nextweek = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('next sunday',strtotime($week))); $lastweek = date('Y-m-d',strtotime('last sunday',strtotime($week))); This has also been working fine, until we got to week ending Sunday 30th October. For some reason, when $week = 2005-10-30, $nextweek becomes 2005-10-05, which is a Saturday. I've tried replacing the 'next Sunday' with '+7 days', but this returns the same date. Is this a bug? Am I missing something?

StrToTime () Issue
I'm using strtotime to get the timestamp for midnight. I have a statistics script for my pagecounter that displays hits since midnight. I also display the number of hours and minutes passed since midnight. $start = strtotime ('today 00:00'); $timepassed = date ('H:i', time () - $start); The weird part is at 11.30 AM it says 12 hrs and 30 minutes have passed. I tried adding GMT+1 like so: $start = strtotime ('today 00:00 GMT+1'); because I suspect the fact I'm in Holland is the reason for the miscalculation. But this format is refused by strtotime. (-1) Does anyone know a) whether this is indeed the problem, and b) how to fix it. Preferrably not alone for me here, but in suc a way anyone around the globe would have a correctly working script if they'd use mine. The php page for strtotime pointed me to a link at gnu.org where the syntax for it apparantly is listed, but I get a no such page error.

Strtotime And Cron
I've got a db of events which have dates attached to them which have been created using strtotime(). They don't have any time.. just the date. I've got a script which gets today's date using strtotime("today"). I use this as a comparison to find events which happen today. This works fine when I call the script from a URL, however when I called the php file from a cron job... the strtotime("today") creates values which are different each time. Are there any thoughts on what could be causing this? Firstly, I was wondering if the cron job was somehow using a different timezone to me (I'm On GMT). How do I explicitly tell php to use GMT.. .but then again.. this should matter too much, because I jsut want to date not the time! It also wouldn't account for the changing values of strtotime("today"). Just out of interest, does php4 and php5 handle strtotime("today") differently? I'm just wondering if cron is using the correct version of php?

Strtotime Failure
I don't know how I should input date + time into a strtotime function (i'm a total noob) so I tested this: <? $d=01; $M=01; $y=1970; $h=01; $m=01; $s=01; echo "$d $M $y $h:$m:$s"; echo strtotime("$d $M $y $h:$m:$s"); ?> I get as echo strtotime '-1', wich means the strtotime has a failure. Can anybody explain me why? Or can anybody tell me how I can make a strtotime function that puts a timestamp in the database depending on the date and time inserted in a textbox? (one textbox or one textbox to insert the day, another to insert the year,...) I should be able to change a format like (for example) this : 01-02-1990 00:00:00 (midnight) into a timestamp. so dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss (or something else just to make it work)I'm clueless.

Strange Strtotime() Behavior
I'm trying to use the strtotime() function to manage sessions. But I get the following <?php print(time() . " - " . strtotime("+1 hour")); ?> outputs: 1097380666 - 1097308800 Strange strtotime("+1 hour") produced a time stamp less than the current time. It also never changes. In other words strtotime("+1 hour") always results in the time stamp 1097308800. I have also tried strtotime("+1 hour", time()) with the same result Is this correct, have I misunderstood the strtotime() function? I'm running Gentoo with kernal 2.6.8.1, php 5.0.1, apache2

Strtotime And A Very Mysterious Date
Namely the thirteenth of December 1901, 12:45:52, Pacific Time. All dates later than this passed in format "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss" to the strtotime function return the correct unix timestamp value (as can be verified by passing it back to date()). If a date earlier than 1901-12-13 12:45:52 is used, it returns an error. I tried this for a while to find the exact cut-off point, and this is it. Any reason - possibly a limitation of the integer value that is used? I didn't find this documented anywhere...
