Date / Time function conversion

szym9341

Hello! I use the below two lines to receive a date and time from my database, but the time is two hours off... Is there a way to add "2" to the hours (g) in this command?

$uglyEntryTime = $getNotes["entry_time"];
$niceEntryTime = date('m/d/y g:i a', strtotime($uglyEntryTime));

This should do what you want.

$current_date = strtotime( $getNotes["entry_time"]);
$get_newdate = mktime(date("H",$current_date)+2, date("i",$current_date), 0, date("m",$current_date), date("d",$current_date), date("Y",$current_date));
$niceEntryTime = date("m/d/Y G:i", $get_newdate);

edit had a problem in the code that i just fixed *

thanks! I'll give that a try!

I also found.. which will allow me to insert with the date/time already converted.

putenv('TZ=EST5EDT');
