dates not equal

[Anon]

Why don't the following two functions provide the same result?

$today=date("Y.m.d H:i:s");
$today2 = date("Y.m.d H:i:s",mktime(date("H"),date("i"),date("s"),date("d"),date("m"),date("Y")));

$today2 gives me a date somewhere in the future.

I need the latter by the way because I need to add various times on.

confused of Leeds.

I tried the same as what you did with simular results however if you chnage the code to read.

<?

$date1=date("Y.m.d H:i:s");

$td=date("H");
$td.=",".date("i");
$td.=",".date("s");
$td.=",".date("d");
$td.=",".date("m");
$td.=",".date("Y");
$date2=date("Y.m.d H:i:s", mktime($td));

echo "Date1 is ".$date1."<P>";
echo "Date2 is ".$date2;

echo "<P>";
echo "(".date("d)");

?>

this works it gives the correct time and date.

so even more confused now as to why this works..

Baffled of leeds.......

BUT....

Thank for the Mark, also not sure why it works, but you're right it does, however, how can I then add 3 months or 30 minutes or whatever?

cheers

Who about :

<?

$dates=getdate();
$num=$dates[mon]+8;

if ( $num > 12 )
{
$num-=12;
$dates[year]+=1;
}

$dates[mon]=$num;

echo "Date3 is ".$dates[mday]."/".$dates[mon]."/".$dates[year];

echo "<P>";

?>

it uses a different function namely getdate but it does work.

your getting the wrong date in the second line because the Month needs to come before the day.

$today = date("Y.m.D H:i:s");
$today2 = date("Y.m.D H:i:s", mktime(date("H"),date("i"),date("s"),date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")));

// 3 Months from now
$newdate = date("Y.m.D H:i:s", mktime(date("H"),date("i"),date("s"),date("m") + 3,date("d"),date("Y")));

// 30 minutes from now
$newdate2 = date("Y.m.D H:i:s", mktime(date("H"),date("i")+ 30,date("s"),date("m"),date("d"),date("Y")));

That'll be it then!

I thought it might be a muck up somewhere,

thanks for your help guys.
