Get Timestamp of Date

[stevesimo]

Hi, I have a date object which I want to get the timestamp for.  The date is 24/8/2007 18:30:00

 

I simply want to determine what the timestamp is for this date and time so that I can compare it against the current timestamp.  The problem is that the timestamp is for the current time, not the date and time that I have specified.

 

Here is my code:

 

  $mydate = date("d-m-Y : H:i:s", mktime(18, 30, 0, 8, 24, 2007));
  $datestamp = time($mydate);
  echo 'My date: '.$mydate.'  -  Date stamp: '.$datestamp;

 

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks, Steve

The time() function doesn't accept any parameters. You just ned to change the format you are using for your date function:

 

$mydate = date("U", mktime(18, 30, 0, 8, 24, 2007));
