ID: 28209 Comment by: kilnight at hotmail dot com Reported By: gamin at centras dot lt Status: Assigned Bug Type: Date/time related Operating System: WinXP HE SP1 PHP Version: 5.0.0RC2 Assigned To: derick New Comment:
I've been using strtotime() to calculate relative shifts in time, ie. $real_now = strtotime("2004-07-15 00:16:35"); $exactly_one_day_ago = strtotime("-1 day", $real_now); echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $exactly_one_day_ago) Expecting "2004-07-14 00:16:35" but getting: "2004-07-14 00:00:00" I'm sure there's a way around this, but I'm really not that bright... so I had to jump back to php4 for the time being. So I also think that the "now" parameter should be real now, not GNU "now".

A lot of code will need rewriting before php5 is released if "now" is going to changed. Wouldn't it be better to have today = Monday 12th of July 2004 12:00:00 AM now = Monday 12th of July 2004 08:49:23 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-05 11:13:44] niels dot hansen at pola dot dk The functionality is maintained in RC3. I needs the realtime for logging of process. My workaround is to do this: $str=date('d F Y h:i:s A'); $timestamp = strtotime("$str"); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-06-15 12:42:47] wb at pro-net dot co dot uk So how would one, for example, use strtotime() to get the current time + 10 mins? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-19 12:33:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's feasible for the rewrite, but for the current parser. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-19 12:10:35] wb at pro-net dot co dot uk Just thought that i would point out that in PHP 4 now is real now and not GNU now so form a BC point of view i think now should be real now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
