how to use mktime()?

[linda_says]

if $temp="10/20/2002", how do I convert it to unix timestamp using the mktime()?

And if I have a unix timestamp for example 1016553600 , how do I get the day, month and year back?😃

The functional prototype for mktime() is:

mktime((int) hour, (int) minute, (int) second, (int) month, (int) date, (int) year);

It will return the UNIX timestamp for the date entered.

To get the 'user-friendly' date back from a UNIX timestamp, you can use the date() function with a second argument:

date("d m Y", 1016553600);
