time question???

[darkfreaks]

Warning: mktime() expects parameter 1 to be long, string given

 

any help would be appreciated ???

 

Code:

 

<?php
function formatDate($val)
  {
      list($date, $time) = explode(" ", $val);
      list($year, $month, $day) = explode("-", $date);
      list($hour, $minute, $second) = explode (":", $time);
      return date("l, m.j.y @ H:ia", mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year));//error line
  }

?>

this is pushing a datatype related error, php handles datatype conversions as you attempt to convert them..

 

you could fix this by converting them into themselves but their numeric equivelent to the string versions

 

      return date("l, m.j.y @ H:ia", mktime(($hour * 1), ($minute * 1), ($second * 1), ($month * 1), ($day * 1), ($year * 1)));//error line

ok so i switched to time()

 

now it returns:

1.17.09

instead of:

17.01.09

What format is $val and where is it coming from?

I just re-read your post, however, my script SHOULD work; you could just use strtotime() on your currently formatted date string, and that wioll return a unix timestamp for which you can use date() with in order to [re-]format your date
