Unhappy Timestamp Prob
Ok, I have some code that is covert a given date from the format "09/09/02" into a UNIX timestamp that will be stored in a MySQL database for later retrieval. The problem, though, is that it returns the date as December 31, 1969! Could someone please help?

PHP Code:
 $created = "09/09/02";
$created = trim($created);                
$created = explode("/",$created);
$uts = mktime(0, 0, 0, $created[0], $created[1], $created[2]);
echo 'Unix TimeStamp: '.$uts; 


Thanks,
~Joe of 4Life

I believe that 09/09/02 should be 09/09/2002. Try that.

use the date function?
You can use symbols other than : in your date function, for example:
PHP Code:
 $myDate = date("d/m/Y");
$myDate = date("Y-m-d");

Hi,

What you have here works fine. I tried this out:

PHP Code:
 $created = "09/09/02";
$created = explode("/",trim($created));

$ts = mktime(0, 0, 0, $created[0], $created[1], $created[2]);

echo "timestamp = $ts\ndate = ";
echo date("M-d-Y", $ts), "\n"; 


which gave the result:

Quote:
timestamp = 1031544000
date = Sep-09-2002


Now, looking at your page you also have the timestamp as 1031544000 . This would suggest it's not the creating of the dates that's the problem, but how you're converting it to a date string.

Move the .php file you linked to to a .phps file (if your web server is setup for those), so that we can see what you've got going on and try to help out a little more.

Andy

Thanks! I'll try that code. Also, I changed it a PHPS file so that y'all can take a look at it....
