[SOLVED] Time Stamp - Midnight + Days

[Fruct0se]

How would I go about getting a time stamp for midnight of the current day, then another timestamp for the current day at midnight + two days?

Without accessing a MySQL database...

 

$dt=explode(':',date('d:m:Y',time()));
$midnight1=mktime(0,0,0,$dt[1],$dt[0],$dt[2]);
$midnight2=$midnight1+(2*24*60*60);

 

Not checked.

strtotime(date('Y F d'));
strtotime(date('Y F d',strtotime("+2 days")));

Mchl, what about the hours, minutes and seconds?

 

Does that insert 0 for them because they're not specified?

[Mchl]

Did not test that, but yeah, it should.

$dt=explode(':',date('d:m:Y',time()));
$midnight1=mktime(0,0,0,$dt[1],$dt[0],$dt[2]);
$midnight2=$midnight1+(2*24*60*60);

 

Not checked.

this outputs:

1226177782 - current time

1226131200 - midnight 1

1226304000 - midnight 2

 

midnight 1 is less than the current days midnight time

Just wrote this:

<?php
  $dt=explode(':',date('j:n:Y',time()));
  $midnight1=mktime(0,0,0,$dt[1],$dt[0],$dt[2]);
  $midnight2=$midnight1+(2*24*60*60);
  for ($i=0;$i<count($dt);$i++) {
    echo $i.': '.$dt[$i].'<br />';
  }
  echo $midnight1.'<br />';
  echo $midnight2.'<br />';
  echo date('H:i:s d-m-Y',time()).'<br />';
  echo date('H:i:s d-m-Y',$midnight1).'<br />';
  echo date('H:i:s d-m-Y',$midnight2);
?>

 

Gives this:

0: 8
1: 11
2: 2008
1226120400
1226293200
16:13:39 08-11-2008
00:00:00 08-11-2008
00:00:00 10-11-2008

Just tried Mchl's code and got this:

00:00:00 01-05-2014

00:00:00 30-04-2016

Of all date formats listed on gnu.org I must have chosen one not suppported by strtotime.

How about this?

 

strtotime(date('d M y'));
strtotime(date('d M y',strtotime("+2 days")));

[Barand]

$midnight_today = mktime(0,0,0);
$plus_2_days = strtotime('+2 days', $midnight_today);

echo $midnight_today, '<br/>';                          // 1226102400
echo $plus_2_days, '<br/>';                             // 1226275200

/**
* check 
*/
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $midnight_today), '<br/>';     //  2008-11-08 00:00:00
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $plus_2_days), '<br/>';        //  2008-11-10 00:00:00
