date expiry

[vh3r]

hi there i would like to ask some help from people who is really good in php

my question is how will im going to truncate my date if its already expired?

for example:

$timeLaps = 15; // to be added to $date1 to set the limitations of expiration
$date1 = '2002/10/01';
$date2 = '2002/10/23';

so if you add the $timeLaps from $date1 how will im going to know on how may days did $date2 laps from $timeLaps+$date1

if we are going to check 15 days + 1 from $date1 is 16 so that means the answer should be 7 but on coding how will ill make it for me to displays the value of 7

thank you in advance

Hi,

try following:

$timeLaps = 15;
$date1 = '2002/10/01';
$date2 = '2002/10/23';

$new_date = ceil((strtotime($date2)-(strtotime($date1)+(86400*$timeLaps)))/86400);
echo $new_date;

just wondering.. where did u get the value 86400? sowhat id my $timeLaps = 7 do i still have to use 86400?

Hi,

86400 is the number of seconds in a day.
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 hour = 60 minutes = 60x60 seconds = 3600 seconds
1 day = 24 hours = 24x3600 seconds = 86400 seconds
