Dates and mktime

[the_jackal]

I have done some date calculations with mktime and get a return value in seconds. Now how do I convert this back to a valid date ?

I'm confused. You've converted what to seconds, and you want to convert that seconds value into a date?

My Suggestion:

$x = mktime(0,0,$sec, 0,0,0);
$y = mktime(0,0,0,0,0,0); //unix epoch time
$z = Date($my_date_format, $y-$x);

that should do it.

you may want to make a $z, representing your personal reference time/date (ie:

$z = mktime($hr, $mn, $sc, $dy, $mo, $yr);

and add it to the date statement

$ret = date($my_date_format, $x-$y+$z);
