Question about time functions?

[TimUSA]

I dont really understand the PHP time functions yet so I will ask this here before I have hours of headaches!

 

What I am trying to accomplish is something like this:

 

get current date/time UTC

if current date/time is Tuesday 23:00 UTC

than $date1 = "date(m/d+1/Y H+2:M UTC"

 

can someone please help me?

1 your synax is incorrect should be

date("m/d/Y")

 

 

read the PHP manual for the date function.

 

http://us3.php.net/date

sorry

 

what I was trying to express here was

than $date1 = "date(m/d+1/Y H+2:M UTC"

 

where d=current day +1 and H = current Hour + 2

If you want to add 1 day and 2 hours to that, you'll need to do it by adding that many seconds to date.

ok so still a bit confused, how would I add 1 day and 2 hours to this for $newdate =

if (gmdate("l H:m") >= "Tuesday 17:00")
{
    $newdate = gmdate("m/d/Y H:i e");
        echo $newdate;
}

which is 93600 seconds

 

btw, whats the deal with a time limit on modifying a post??

<?php
     echo date("m/d/Y H:M e",strtotime("Tuesday 23:00 UTC"));
