[SOLVED] mktime to strtotime convert if possible

[zc1]

Hi,

 

I would like to if possible to convert the mktime to strtotime, I have looked at the strtotime on php.net and it went right over my head, so I was wonder if someone could help me to convert the below from mktime into strtotime if it possible

 

The below is the from the script I am trying to get to work

 

$showMonth = date("F Y", mktime(0,0,0,$Month,1,$Year));
$numDays = date("t",mktime(0,0,0,$Month,1,$Year));
$startDay = date("w",mktime(0,0,0,$Month,1,$Year));

$prevMonth = date("m", mktime(0,0,0,($Month - 1), 01, $Year));
$prevYear = date("Y", mktime(0,0,0,($Month - 1), 01, $Year));
$nextMonth = date("m", mktime(0,0,0,($Month + 1), 01, $Year));
$nextYear = date("Y", mktime(0,0,0,($Month + 1), 01, $Year));

$todaysDay = date("w", mktime(0,0,0,$Month, $q, $Year));

if ( date("m", mktime(0,0,0,$Month, $q, $Year)) == date("m", mktime(0,0,0,$Month, ($q - 7), $Year)) ) {

 

Regards,

Garry

strtotime by design ins't meant to be used  on none user input except for when you are doing the

"+1 Day", "-1 Week" etc varients.  Its primary purpose is to take a formated date (like mm/dd/yyyy or mm-dd-yyyy or yyyy-mm-dd) and spit out a unix time stamp with association to what it knows about the input.

 

in your case you are  setting times to the begining of a month for the most part

the $preYear,$nextmonth can be handled by saying

 

$prevYear = date("Y", strtotime("-1 year",$Year));

 

however from a amount of processing time that would take more as your taking a valid time item (year) and treating it like a raw string just to convolute it to put it back into a time, it would also probably return jan 1 12:00 am on the previous year not what you want exactly (although you just want the Y part of it)

 

 

as you can see in this case its not much help in the long run actually slower
