#44163 [Asn]: Addition of more useful date time functions

ID: 44163 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported By: cool_lim_lp at yahoo dot com dot sg Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: any PHP Version: 5.2.5 Assigned To: derick New Comment: I didn't refer to the date() comments. The bug reporter did. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-19 08:05:20] derick@php.net Rasmus, most of the functions in the date() comments actually don't work, so we can use something like this. I am hoping to manage to get it into PHP 5.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-19 05:59:03] rasmus@php.net Right, date_diff would be useful, but date addition and the ability to get individual date parts are there already in date_modify() and date_parse(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-19 05:46:46] cool_lim_lp at yahoo dot com dot sg look at the user notes at : http://sg2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php see how many people have to write their own functions to do even simple date calculations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-19 05:26:06] cool_lim_lp at yahoo dot com dot sg ok, tell me how do you calculate the no. of days difference between two given dates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-02-19 05:10:26] rasmus@php.net That's already there. Please see the date_modify() function in the manual. Also see date_parse(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
