jakebur01 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey, I am looking for some code. I need my users to be able to select year month day time and timezone in a form. I want it to convert into a unix timestamp so I can insert it into my database.

jakebur01 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 mktime looks good. I am building the form now. I will implement the time zones as well.

jakebur01 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 What about time zones? Is there already an option value out there that already contains all of the time zones so I won't have to rebuild the whole thing?

jakebur01 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 My server is sitting in central time zone. Dallas, TX. How do I need to set up the time zones?

discomatt Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 All times mktime generates are based on the server's time.... so, any way you want?

jakebur01 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Could you give me an example of how I would implement eastern time into this if I am on central: echo date("M-d-Y", mktime(0, 0, 0, 12, 32, 1997)); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/119275-solved-php-unix-time-stamp-generator/#findComment-614441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
