Here, play with this. dtAuctionStart is a MySQL date field, so substitute
your own connection and var.
Have fun - Miles Thompson
Some messing about with dates <br>
=============================<br>
<?
echo $dtAuctionStart, "<br>";
echo date ("Y-m-d", $dtAuctionStart ), "<br>";
//$strDate = $dtAuctionStart ;
echo "dtAuctionStart : $dtAuctionStart";
$year = substr ($dtAuctionStart, 0, 4);
$month = substr( $dtAuctionStart, 4, 2 );
$day = substr ($dtAuctionStart, 6, 2 );
Echo "dtAuctionStart in m-d -y : $month-$day-$year <br>";
$workdate = getdate( $dtAuctionStart );
echo " Workdate Year:", $workdate["year"],"<br>";
?>
Ereg Stuff <br>
==========<br>
<?
if (ereg ("([0-9]{4})([0-9]{1,2})([0-9]{1,2})", $dtAuctionStart, $regs))
{
echo "Auction Start: $regs[1]-$regs[2]-$regs[3] <br><br>";
}
else
{
echo "Bad date format. <br>";
}
//echo gmdate ("Y-m-d", time()), "<br>";
echo date ("M-d-Y", mktime (0,0,0, $month, $day, $year));
// echo date ("M-d-Y", mktime (0,0,0,12,32,1997));
echo "<br>Local date: <br> " ;
echo date ("M d Y H:i:s", time()), "<br>";
echo date ("M d Y H:i:s", time()), "<br>";
echo "Greenwich date: <br>";
echo gmdate ("M d Y H:i:s", time()), "<br>";
echo gmdate ("YmdHis", time()), "<br>";
?>
