Perad Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I just have 2 questions really.When you make a post on the forum, is the servers time saved to the database? Or is it the time on your computers clock?Secondly does anyone know of any good articles that explain how to add and subtract time. Mainly hours.

Daniel0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 PHP's time functions return times based on the time of the server.About subtracting and adding to time:If you use time() just do it like regular calculations with + or -If you use a formatted time stamp you can use [url=http://php.net/strtotime]strtotime()[/url] Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/34977-time-and-how-to-addsubtract-it/#findComment-164972 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Great job on repeating what I said...Besides, it mustn't be retrieved be retrieved with [url=http://php.net/time]time()[/url], there are several other functions that will give you the time of the server.

Hypnos Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 MySQL has it's own time and date functions that can store the current time and date in any common format.http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time-functions.htmlIf you're storing your dates/times in MySQL, it's best to use this stuff, rather than overly complexing it with PHP code.
