beginers example for substr floor strtotime wordwrap refrence i shere ok.

[redarrow]

edit:
change any redarrow to john or it will be wrong ok.


I have been leaning the date conversion with strtotime and floor, also i have lern to use substr to limit the charecters, and i have been learning wordwrap to add a brake from the database.

heres my example for the beginers ok.

I hope this helps any beginer good luck.


<?
//start

//day conversion.

$date1="10-10-2006";
$date2="10-11-2006";

$start=strtotime($date1);

$end=strtotime($date2);

$sum=$end-$start;

$result1=floor($sum/86400);

//end

echo" this is a day conversion $result1 <br>";

//start

// see words to desire lenth.

$text="my name is redarrow and i love php";

$result2=substr($text,0,16);

//end

echo " this is a letter deduction $result2<br>";

// start.
$word="my name is redarrow and i love php";

$result3=wordwrap($word,16,"<br>",1);

// end.

echo " this is a sentence with a brake $result3 <br> ";

?>
