psychohagis Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I am trying to convert a "time()" timestamp into date format ""DDth MMMM YYYY" I know how to do this and so far ive got the following: <?php $timestamp = '1168803135'; function date_convert($value){ $date = date("d-m/Y", $value) $day = eregi_replace('([1-9])(-)([1-9])(/)([1-9])', '\\1', $date); [color=red]LINE 9[/color] return $day; } echo date_convert($timestamp); ?> But when I run this it throws back the following error: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/fhlinux178/b/MYSITE.org.uk/user/htdocs/includes/date_convert.inc.php on line 9 Anyone got and ideas?

per1os Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 function date_convert($value){ $date = date("d-m/Y", $value) Should be function date_convert($value){ $date = date("d-m/Y", $value); missing semi-colon Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44014-solved-problem-with-regular-expressions-or-something/#findComment-213705 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 If you are changing a timestamp into the following date format: DDth MMMM YYYY Then just change the format options in the first parameter for the date function. So if you want it in the above format do this: <?php $timestamp = time(); $date = date("jS F Y", $timestamp); // Output example: 1st January 2007 // OR // $date = date("D jS F Y", $timestamp); // Output example: Mon 1st January 2007 echo $date; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/44014-solved-problem-with-regular-expressions-or-something/#findComment-213710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
