Date functions

[Anon]

I can turn date into a unix time stamp:

$timestamp=mktime($hrs,$min,$sec,$month,$day,$year);

How I can turn this stamp into date again?

I try to use

$my_date=getdate($timestamp);

but $my_date is an array and I do not know how to get pure date out of it. When I print

echo $my_date[0];

I just get $timestamp again.

You need to use the date() function, it does what you want and more. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

$my_date = date("m/d/Y", mktime($hrs,$min,$sec,$month,$day,$year);

That will put 04/12/2001 into $my_date, if that is what is in the $month, $day, $year variables.

If you want to use getdate you can write

$my_date=getdate($timestamp);
and now:
echo $my_date['seconds'] // seconds
or
echo $my_date[minutes'] // minutes
or
echo $my_date['hours'] // hours
or
echo $my_date['mday'] // day of the month
or
echo $my_date['wday'] // day of the week as a number
or
echo $my_date['mon'] // month as a number
or
echo $my_date['year'] // year
or
echo $my_date['yday'] //day of year as a number
or
echo $my_date['month'] // month name

and remember, ... http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php

Have a good day!
