[SOLVED] adding to Date()

[almightyegg]

How would add a certain amount of seconds to a date defined by date()?

Eg. current time by server is 2009-02-26 22:05:09 how would I get 2009-02-26 22:05:39??

[The Little Guy]

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("now +30 seconds"));

$dtDate = "2009-02-26 22:05:09";
$tmTime = strtotime($dtDate);
$tmNextTime = $tmTime + 30;
$dtNextDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $tmNextTime);

 

its the same as the little guy suggested, just instead of current time, u can put any time in the variable.

Thank you, also how would I get the difference between 2 timestamps?

As in which one is bigger... I tried:

if($time1>$time2){

}else{

}

 

but no joy

[The Little Guy]

convert them to unix time stamps

 

$time1 = strtotime($row['date1']);
$time2 = strtotime($row['date2']);
if($time1>$time2){
   echo '1 is larger than 2';
}else{
   echo '2 is larger than 1';
}

You're gonna hate me... I have another problem :s

How would I take one timestamp from another?

$time1-$time2= X seconds

[The Little Guy]

What you have will return seconds, I believe...

 

take the larger one minus the smaller one.
