PHP Time Function help

[mrras25]

I need to do the same thing as Perl's Time::Local turning a 6 element time stamp into seconds... how would I do this is php?

 

Perl:

      ($year,$mon,$mday)=split(/-/,$tokens[0]);

      ($hours,$min,$sec)=split(/:/,$tokens[1]);

      $lasttime = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);

 

php: ??????

Use the strtotime() function:

<?php
$timestamp = '2008-01-01 14:23:02';
$secs_since_1970 = strtotime($timestamp);
?>

That is a great function.... however here are the two results using the same date time stamp

 

php: echo strtotime("2008-03-11 02:15:43"), "\n";

result: 1205226943

 

perl:

      <side note: row[11] translates to this from a mysql database: 2008-03-11 02:15:43 as shown from this screen capture: 1302688940 fcb41d160 14 15867497152880 2494112567376 0.00 19338.00 0.00 2008-03-11 02:00:01 2008-03-11 02:15:43>

   

      @tokens=split(/\s/,$row[11]);

      ($year,$mon,$mday)=split(/-/,$tokens[0]);

      ($hours,$min,$sec)=split(/:/,$tokens[1]);

      $curtime = timelocal($sec,$min,$hours,$mday,$mon,$year);

 

Result:

1207894543
