PHP date problem

[mssakib]

Hi

 

Hi want to show my users a time which is after 8 Hours so i am using mktime like this

 

<?php

$after = mktime(8,0,0,date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));

echo "After  8 Hr is ".date("H:i:s", $after);

?>

 

 

but it is showing something like 1313042400

 

So need help

print "After  8 hours is $after";

Hmm sorry i posted my problem wrongly

 

what i want to show is that how much time is left before his file will be deleted .

 

like this

 

$a = fileupload time + 8 hours;

$b = date("H:i:s");

 

and then $c= $a - $b;

 

echo $c;

 

 

but it shows only just numbers. how to solve this,

refer to my updated post..

Thats ok . but what i want to show is how much is left. so it would look like

 

$ftime= date("H:i:s", $file["date"],strtotime("+8hours")); // $file['time'] = file uploaded time

 

$ctime = $ftime - date("H:i:s");

 

echo $ctime;

 

but it gives error  a paramiter error

What exactly do you have inside the variable $file["date"]? A UNIX timestamp or a string like SQL DATETIME ('YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS') or what? I have a feeling you might need to calculate the time what is left manually or using DateTime functions (DateTime usage requires php >= 5.3 though, which would be probably the easiest way).

if i echo $file["date"]; it shows 1313089928

 

and another thing is how to calculate 3 time like

 

date("d.m.Y H:i:s", $file["date"]) and strtotime("+8hours")

Here is something to get you started, you need to calculate the time left to the expiration from the interval value (which is in seconds).

 

$timeStampFromDb = '1313089928';
$hoursToAdd = 8*60*60; // 8 hours 
$expireTime = $timeStampFromDb + $hoursToAdd; // time when 8 hours is added to the time from db
$now = mktime(); // time at the moment
$interval = $expireTime - $now; // if this is negative, time has expired
echo 'Time now: ' . date('Y:m:d H:i:s', $now) . '<br>'; // time now formatted
echo 'Expire time: ' . date('Y:m:d H:i:s', $expireTime) . '<br>'; // expire time formatted

Thx worked. But it was using wrong delet time. But when i used

 

date('H:i:s'); in lieu if mktime(); it worked.

thx again
