Converting Time in PHP

[bradwbowman]

I have an application that gives me numbers like 1183354915 and the php coding converts it into a time.

print date('d m Y', $row['topic_time']);


Are there any converters that will allow me to input July 2, 10:59PM and it will spit out that number?

Thank You,

Yes, you can! I would suggest reading the manual first.. but I mean there are so
many functions so I don't blame you.. anyhow this is how to do it..

PHP Code:

<?php
$string = "July 2, 10:59PM";
echo strtotime($string);
?>

OR...

PHP Code:

<?php
echo strtotime("July 2, 10:59PM");
?>

and forgot output.. this is what it'll output "1183417140"

Enjoy!

All this does it provides the output of "-1" Am I missing something?

Thank You,

You must be, because it outputs exactly as I put it in both examples.

Just so you no, there is another function quite useful in generating time stamps:

mktime();

Look it up on php.net
