strftime() function error? Help!

[jtjtjthey]

I'm kinda new to php programming and the coding below seems ok but it displays an error like this: http://localhost/strftime.php.

 

 

<?php

$format="%d/%m/%Y %H: %M: %S";

$strf=strftime($format);

echo("$strf");

print_r(strptime($format,$strf));

?>

 

 

Is strptime() function cannot be used in window platform? But without using it how can I determine the subtraction between two timestamps for time validation input? I'm using xampp 1.5.5 version.

Anybody please help!!

Oops! the error is like this: Fatal error: Call to undefined function strptime() in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\strftime.php on line 5

Sorry for the trouble.

If you read the manual entry for strptime(), you will notice this:

    Note: This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.

Hi Ken:

 

        Thanks Ken for the reply but I dunno what to do right now if strptime() cannot be used. Now I'm facing a problem related to calculating the user input of timestamp. Lets say the timestamp of $assignation_starts = '23-7-2008 10:55:23' and $assignation_ends = '24-7-2008' how can I calculate the subtraction between this two values? without using strptime() how can I perform such calculation? To subtract this two values we need to separate '23-7-2008 10:55:23' so that it can be inserted into mktime() right? Thank you!
