Time help

Sharif

How can I display the time like this:

01:23:59 AM

I also need one hour to the current our becuase of the server offset. How can I accomplish this?

In getting some help on time in my thread, I was given a link to the PHP documentation.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php

Try looking here and seeing if one of the date/time functions will help you out any.

You could give the below a shot.

$timestamp = time() - (11 * 60 * 60);
$today = getdate($timestamp);
$hour = $today['hours']; 
$minutes = $today['minutes'];
$seconds = $today['seconds'];
$pmam = date('a');
echo "$hour:$minutes:$seconds $pmam";

That works perfectly with a few changes needed. I want the seconds to appear in a two digit format (instead of 1 being 1, I want it to be 01). Also, about showing today's date, the code:

date("F n, Y"); displays July 7 instead of the current date.

$timestamp = time() - (11 * 60 * 60); 
$today = getdate($timestamp); 
$hour = $today['hours'];  

$minutes = $today['minutes']; 
$seconds = $today['seconds']; 

// add code to get today's month, day and year
$month = date("m", mktime());
$day = date("d", mktime());
$year = date("Y", mktime());

$pmam = date('a'); 

// Put it all together
$crunchdata = date("h:i:s A m-d-Y", mktime($hour, $minutes, $seconds,$month, $day, $year));

// Should echo out the hours, minutes, seconds, month, day and year in the following format (taking the offset into consideration):    00:00:00 AM mm-dd-yyyy
echo $crunchdata;

There are a bunch of other ways to do this, like first crunching the data into a UNIX Timestamp format first, and then just calling the date function using that timestamp value...

The manual has a ton of info on how to use the date(), getdate(), time(), mktime() etc... functions...

I'm trying to correctly format a time, given a date and a time in the form of HH:MM:SS (pulled from a MySQL query). The time is the third element in each record, so this code is executed when i equals 2.

{
       $j = explode(":", $array[i]);

   //used for debugging
   print "$j[0] $j[1] $j[2]"; 

   //x is the result of exploding the date the event happened/is to happen on.
   $newtime = date("g:i:s A", mktime($j[0], $j[1], $j[2], $x[0], $x[1], $x[2], -1));

   echo "<td>$newtime</td>";
}

When this code is executed, the time displays as "6:59:59 PM" for all entries selected in the query.

Need some clarification:

1) Where is the i coming from in the array portion of the $J variable definition?
2) What does your debugging print command show?
3) Where are the $x variables coming from?
4) What are you expecting from the output?

I am assuming you are doing some sort of loop outside of this... Post more code please.

{ 
       $j = explode(":", $array[i]); 

   //used for debugging 
   print "$j[0] $j[1] $j[2]";  

   //x is the result of exploding the date the event happened/is to happen on. 
   $newtime = date("g:i:s A", mktime($j[0], $j[1], $j[2], $x[0], $x[1], $x[2], -1)); 

   echo "<td>$newtime</td>"; 
}

Ignore my previous post in this thread. Instead, look at the newest thread I started. The code posted there should make it apparent what I'm trying to do.

Ok, I modified the code very little to just show the time. Now the problem is, when it should be AM, it says PM, and for PM, it says AM...

<?php
$timestamp = time() - (11 * 60 * 60);  

$today = getdate($timestamp);  

$hour = $today['hours'];   

$minutes = $today['minutes'];  

$seconds = $today['seconds'];  

// Put it all together 
$crunchdata2 = date("h:i:s A", mktime($hour, $minutes, $seconds)); 

echo "<span class=\"TITLE3\">";
echo $crunchdata2;
echo "</span>";
?>
