Date problem (but different)

Klojum

I would like to have the dropdownlistbox select the last date in a series... but I'm having a problem keeping tack of the timestamps of days between the two dates... 🙁

 
<? 
$stmp_start = mktime(0,0,0,03,01,2003); 
$stmp_end = mktime(0,0,0,10,15,2003); 
?> 
<html> 
<head></head> 
<body> 

<form name="test"> 
<select name="date_from" size=1">  

<? 
    for ($i = $stmp_start; $i <= $stmp_end; $i = $i + 86400) 
    {        

        $tmpdate = date("d-m-Y", $i); 
        if ($i == $stmp_end) 
        { $slctd = " selected";} else {$slctd = "";} 
        echo "<option value=\"$i\" $slctd>$i | $stmp_end | $tmpdate</option>\n"; 
    }     

?> 
</select> 
</form> 
</BODY> 
</HTML>

Hopefully one of you guys can explain me where the missing link is. 🙂

hi Klojum,

i'm not (jet) understanding why, but the difference is 1 hour, 3600 sec. that is. maybe this is already a help for you, but i will have a look at it, no promise for a answer though.

greetings, tijger

For the time being, I rewrote the whole thing, which now works... But I'm still curious what's happening in the first version.

$teller = 0;
do	
{
	$teller = $teller + 1;
	$tmp_stamp = mktime(0,0,0,substr($bgdatum,5,2),substr($bgdatum,8,2)+$teller,substr($bgdatum,0,4));
    	$tmpdatum = NL_datum("DG dd-mmm-yyyy", $tmp_stamp);
    	if ($tmp_stamp==$stmp_einde){$slctd = " selected"; } else {$slctd = ""; }
	echo "<option value=\"$i\" $slctd>$tmpdatum</option>\n";
}
while ($tmp_stamp < $stmp_einde);

Yes, I'm Dutch too 😃
