Romain - you were so right. A little less calculating to be done and I
got the result I wished. For anyone interested here's the function I'm
using to determine how much time there is until a cookie expires. The
cookie in question contains the expiration datetime that was used to
create a paired cookie.
function GetTimeLeft($applid)
{
if (isset($_COOKIE[$applid]))
{
if (isset($_COOKIE[$applid.expire]))
{
$curr_time = new datetime();
$cookietime = $_COOKIE[$applid.expire];
$exp_time = new datetime();
$exp_time-setTimeStamp($cookietime);
$diff = $curr_time-diff($exp_time);
$days = $diff-format(%d);
$days = ($days 1) ? $days days: ($days == 1) ?
$days day : '';
$hms = $diff-format(%h:%i:%s);
return Time left: $days $hms;
}
else
return '?';
}
else
return '0';
}

[PHP] date time problem
I always hate dealing with date/time stuff in php - never get it even close until an hour or two goes by anyway I have this: // get two timestamp values $exp_time = $_COOKIE[$applid.expire]; $curr_time = time(); // get the difference $diff = $exp_time - $curr_time; // produce a display time of the diff $time_left = date(h:i:s,$diff); Currently the results are: exp_time is 06:55:07 curr_time is 06:12:03 the diff is 2584 All of these are correct. BUT time_left is 07:43:04 when it should be only 00:43:04. So - where is the hour value of '07' coming from??

Jim, The date method takes in a timestamp (not seconds away).

The only thing that would account for the 7 hours difference is the time zone, which would also be part of the timestamp. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time gives more details.

I never looked at it that way. I guess the Date function can't be relied on in that case. So now I'll have to calculate my time in a mathematical way instead of letting Date translate it for me.

Re: [PHP] date time problem
An easier way to do that would be using the diff() method of a DateTime object on another.

[PHP] Date/Time problem
Well, I got the time displaying sort of right but have a length problem. See, using %T doesn't work in date() but %Z does but it returns a very long string 'Mountain Daylight Time' when all I want is 'MDT'. Is there a way around this problem other than having to edit the string date() returns?? Robin E. Kopetzky Black Mesa Computers/Internet Services www.blackmesa-isp.net
Re: [PHP] Date/Time problem
echo(date('T'));
Works fine for me.
