[PHP] datetime
I am using a mssql database and I have a question regarding the datetime type. When I write a date to the database it store the date in the following format: 6/8/03 But when I extract the date from the database it returns the value in the following format: Jun 8 2003 12:00AM Is there a nice function available in php that will format the date based upon certain specification. I know that date() exists, but I that means I would have to use mktime() which would require parsing the entire string and breaking the string into the day, the month, the year. Furthermore, I would then need a switch statement to convert the value Jun into the value 6. I appreciate any help.

Re: [PHP] datetime
Use date() and strtotime() together. strtotime will convert date string into integer timestamp. Still have any questions, check these two functions online plz.

RE: [PHP] datetime
Convert Jun 8 2003 12:00AM to a timestamp which can then be used with the date() function to format the date to whatever format you want. Lets say you've inserted the date as '6/8/03' and you want the data to remain the same when you retrieve it: ? $ts = strtotime(Jun 8 2003 12:00AM); echo date(n/j/y, $ts); ? so all you have to do is replace Jun 8 2003 12:00AM with data retrieved from the DB -Original Message- From: Dale Hersh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 22 August 2003 12:13 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] datetime I am using a mssql database and I have a question regarding the datetime type.

[PHP] Stopping Output
I'm in the process of making a forum in PHP, and am wondering if there is a way to just stop sending stuff the the client(like if they're banned). I'm including a php file in all the .php files that make up the forum(reads the forum configuration file, sets up style sheets, etc). I'd really like to be able to put the code in there, so if/when I update it I won't have to update 20 different files. return 0; stops everything in the included file, but everything from file that inlcuded it still shows still goes on printing.

I'm trying to create a hyperlink that will open a random Flash page so that
users will see a different flash module each time. Here is some of the code
that I wrote but I'm not sure if it'll work since I'm not very good at
coding. Oh yeah, I'm not using a database either.

$i = rand(0,3);

}
else if ($i = = 1){
$value = b;
}
...etc.

Yes that is correct, you don't have to use null any value can be put
in as a default.

Murugesan,
both ways are correct. Its just that i'm used to using the short open tag :)
http://au.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php#ini.short-open-tag
http://au.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php#ini.short-open-tag
short_open_tag http://au.php.net/manual/en/language.types.boolean.php boolean
Tells whether the short form (? ?) of PHP's open tag should be allowed. If you want
to use PHP in combination with XML, you can disable this option in order to use ?xml
? inline. Otherwise, you can print it with PHP, for example: ?php echo '?xml
version=1.0'; ?. Also if disabled, you must use the long form of the PHP open tag
(?php ?).
Note: This directive also affects the shorthand ?=, which is identical to ? echo.
Use of this shortcut requires short_open_tag to be on.

I'm guessing this is your class constructor?
If so then you can't access $this-_dbuser and $this-_dbpw because you
have not set their value anywhere.
You cannot set their value in the section you labeled var declarations
either. PHP does not allow values to be assigned to variables outside of
functions. So if you have any assignments in the var declaration section
put those at the top of your constructor.

Question 2, how can I read TimeStamp and if the elapsed time between visits is more than 60 minutes, I insert a new record? Where do I start?
