Mktime Error

[TheUnknown]

mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given in /home/home/public_html/storage/lib/stdlib.php on line 200

line 200 is

return date("m/d/Y", mktime($hr,$mi,0,$mo,$da,$yr));

any ideas on whats going on here?

Don't know what your $hr, $mi, $mo, $da, and $yr vars are.

 

Personally, I prefer strtotime.

 

<?php
return date("m/d/Y", strtotime("$yr-$mo-$da $hr:$mi:00"));
?>

[TheUnknown]

$yr = strval(substr($dt,0,4));
$mo = strval(substr($dt,4,2));
$da = strval(substr($dt,6,2));
$hr = strval(substr($dt,8,2));
$mi = strval(substr($dt,10,2));

Thanks for the response

What format is $dt? You might be able to just do this:

 

<?php
return date("m/d/Y", strtotime($dt));
?>

Yo F1

Heres all the code

 

function mysql_timestamp($dt, $blank="") {
/* returns formatted MySQL timestamp, or $blank if it's blank */

if (empty($dt)) return $blank;

$yr = strval(substr($dt,0,4));
$mo = strval(substr($dt,4,2));
$da = strval(substr($dt,6,2));
$hr = strval(substr($dt,8,2));
$mi = strval(substr($dt,10,2));

return date("m/d/Y", strtotime($hr,$mi,0,$mo,$da,$yr));
}

[F1Fan]

Right, but in what format is $dt coming in as?? List an example, like:

 

2008-09-19 10:47 AM

 

or whatever...

OK, perfect. Just use that last example I listed and make your function look like this:

 

<?php
function mysql_timestamp($dt, $blank="") {
/* returns formatted MySQL timestamp, or $blank if it's blank */
if (empty($dt)) return $blank;
return date("m/d/Y", strtotime($dt));
}
?>

Ok good i will use your code

I do wonder why im getting this error tho? I mean it works and if i never loaded my logs i wouldn't have had any idea that something was wrong

 

[F1Fan]

That's more of a notification than an error. A real error will kill your program.

instead of strval......use intval

$yr = strval(substr($dt,0,4));

$mo = strval(substr($dt,4,2));

$da = strval(substr($dt,6,2));

$hr = strval(substr($dt,8,2));

$mi = strval(substr($dt,10,2));

that's too much work.

 

try this script instead

$yr = date("Y", strtotme($dt));
$mo = date("m", strtotme($dt));
$da = date("d", strtotme($dt));
$hr = date("G", strtotme($dt));
$mi = date("i", strtotme($dt));

[DarkWater]

You left out the 'i' in 'time' all 5 times that you types that.  I'll assume you copypasta'd it.

[Zane]

I mispelled it, but yeah I "copypasta'd" it

 

thanks for spotting that

$yr = date("Y", strtotime($dt));
$mo = date("m", strtotime($dt));
$da = date("d", strtotime($dt));
$hr = date("G", strtotime($dt));
$mi = date("i", strtotime($dt));
