Hi gang:
would you stop calling me that, I'll bet it means something rude in korean. :-P
What's the slickest way to go from "standard" to military times and back
again?
wouldn't the slickest way be to carry/store unixtimestamps and
then output whatever version you need when you need it,
the conversion back and forth *seems* pointless.
agree completely, seperate out the display so you have
function militaryTime($t)
{
return strftime('%R', $t);
}
function standardTime($t)
{
return strftime('%r', $t);
}
$time = time();
$militaryTime = militaryTime($time);
$standardTime = standardTime($time);
=
but then you could shorten to:
function timeFormat($militaryTime = FALSE) {
$format = $militaryTime ? '%R' : '%r';
return strftime($format, $t);
}
$time = time();
$militaryTime = timeFormat(TRUE);
$standardTime = timeFormat();
=
or you could leave you're options open and go for:
function timeFormat($format = '%r') {
return strftime($format, $t);
}
$time = time();
$militaryTime = timeFormat('%r');
=
or just
$time = time();
$militaryTime = strftime('%r', $time);
:P
