60 seconds * 60 min. * 24 hrs. = 86400?

[PHP] strtotime Question

[gohaku]

Hi everyone,
I made the mistake of using strtotime("day") instead of 
strtotime("today")
to get the current time.
I was just curious, what is strtotime("day") represent?

Below is what I used to test the "day" and "today" parameters:

Testing One Minute Difference

Thanks in advance.

[PHP] strtotime() question

[Kyle Bisignani]

Hello,
I'm not even quite sure if I am posting this message in the right place,
so please bear with me.
I have a question regarding the strtotime() function.  I am developing a PHP
script to handle dates for my web site, and I need an easy way to get from
today to tomorrow to +2 days to +3 days... you get the idea... all the way
up to +90 days.  The strtotime() function seems ideal because the script can
easily put in "+51 days" and it knows what to do.
My question is how does it handle Daylight Savings Time?  The program I
was previously using (written in Perl) actually jumped a day or duplicated a
day when DST was coming up or ending.  When using the "+19 days" syntax in
the strtotime() function, does it take into account DST and not cause
similar problems?

Thank you very much for any help.

[PHP] strtotime question

[Jason Murray]

Hi there,

$ob->date is '2000/03/06'.

$d = ereg_replace('([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)-([0-9]*)',
  '\2/\3/\1', $ob->date);

$d is now '03/06/2000'.

$foo = getdate(strtotime($d)+86400);

Here I have to add an entire day to the value of strtotime($d) to get
the expected results for below.

echo "" . $foo["weekday"] . ", " . $d . "\n";

Without adding a day to strtotime() $foo["weekday"] is 'Monday'.

Is there some kind of timezone stuff I am not accounting for? or is it
something else?

Thanks,
Jason
