Timestamp Help

nodoo

I am a very small webcaster and would like to add a timestamp after each song in my recently played songlist. I got the webpage to parse the current time, but I cannot get it to print a different timestamp for each song based on the time it was played. It continues to just post the current time. Could someone please help...I've only been using PHP for about 2 days now.

Sincerely,

you need to explain your problem/situation little more...

what are you using to store the date for each song? is it a sql database? is it a text file? what is it?

how are you displaying the date? where are you getting it from?

it would help if you showed a little code here...

I'm sorry,

I am currently using mySQL database to process the song order through a program called SAM from spacialaudio.com. In my webpage I have written a small php script to pull the time from my local server. I want to add a tag behind each song which shows what time it was played. I haven't written any script yet because I can't figure out where I need to pull the song time from. The program lists a recently played column within itself and tells what time it was pulled.

The script I am using to pull the server time is:

<?
$current_time = $current["hours"] . ":" . $current["minutes"];

echo "Current subMERGE RaDiO time is $current_time"; ?>

When it shows the time, it shows it in a 24 hour format, I would like to move the time to a 12 hour format. Any hlep anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated as I am VERY new to php.

Sincerely,
Damon

so, your only problem is converting a date from 24h to 12h format...

try the php functions mktime() and date().

you will take the 24h-formatted date, create an unix timestamp with mktime and re-format it (however you want) using date("format",timestamp)

I also need help with getting the timestamp behind each song. I will try the mktime to get the 12 hour format clock.
