Quick date question

[Anon]

I want to format the date like \\"Fri, 15-Feb-2002 12:00:00 GMT\\" and am using the following code.

$expires = date(D);
$expires = $expires.\\", \\";
$expires = $expires.date(d);
$expires = $expires.\\"-\\";
$expires = $expires.date(M);
$expires = $expires.\\"-\\";
$expires = $expires.date(Y);
$expires = $expires.\\" 23:59:59 GMT\\";

Is there a better way as this seems inefficient?

Think of applying this idea.

$time = mktime()+3600;
$date = date("l, d-M-Y H:i:s", ($time));

expires=$date GMT;

I use the above to set a cookie that'll expire in one hour.

mktime() is the current time in seconds.
I add 3600 seconds to that to get $time.

The $time is then formatted the proper way for setting cookies.

This works great for me. I hope it does for you also.

NOTE: Some operating systems will not set your cookie, unless you set the expiration to about 9 hrs. I know Windows does that.
