Grrr! PHP defies me!

Alright, I've tried all sorts of posibilities... but I still get the error msg: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _strftime() in D:\Web\MrMustard\adminUpdate.php on line 15

I'm trying to format a date. The code I got is:

	$today = getdate(); 
	$month = $today['mon']; 
	$mday = $today['mday']; 
	$year = $today['year']; 
	$today = $mday.".".$month.".".$year;
	*$dateFormatted_=_strftime("%d.%m.%Y",strtotime($today));*
	echo $dateFormatted;

Line 15 is where the starts are (no the stars are not there in my code :rolleyes: )

What am I doing wrong? 😕

try

$dateFormatted = strftime("%d.%m.%Y",strtotime($today));

anyway, why u put and underscore behind the function name?
reffer to function reference
www.php.net/strftime

Dunno why the underscores are there, they are not in my code.
The solution to the problem is not that obviouse :rolleyes:

It's something else. And I'm using the manual as reference. But that didn't help me. Have also searched this site for possible answers, but found nothing that I've not allready tried.

So I'm kind of stuck.....

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: _strftime() in D:\Web\MrMustard\adminUpdate.php on line 15

i would dare to confirm, there is an underscore in your code
check back.

Stubborn, aren't ya! 🆒

Here's my proof:

spstieng

You know what?
There was some sort of hidden underscore.

I deleted the space between $dateFormatted = strftime() and then I got no error msg. Then I put spaces between the = again, and it worked.

So now it kind of works. I only getthe dat 31.12.1969.......
Which is a bit off.

The code is the same and I have tried with
//$today = $mday.".".$month.".".$year;

So that I use the getdate() format, I've tried:
$dateFormatted = strftime("%d.%m.%Y",$today);

and I have tried
.... AHA!
I found the solution. I have to use:
$dateFormatted = strftime("%d.%m.%Y",strftime($today[0]));

NOW it works. Thanks for the help 😃

stolzyboy

the underscore you are talking about in this thread is thanks to the board, sometimes unbeknownst to us, it puts underscores in the code where there should be spaces

just thought i'd let you know for future reference

spstieng

Really? Thanks.

But still, removing the empty spaces befor and after the '=' helped. God knows why :eek:

I think there was a hidden escape character for underscore or something.....
Anyway, it's all good now and I have moved on to the next phase of my development project. Uploading files to server..........
