Req #55089 [Opn->Wfx]: strptime() with UNIX timestamps

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55089&edit=1 ID: 55089 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: webmaster at raphaelmichel dot de Summary: strptime() with UNIX timestamps -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Date/time related Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: date_create_from_format() will give you a DateTime object, from which it's very easy to get a timestamp. As an added bonus, it behaves sensibly cross-platform, unlike strptime(). Closing won't fix. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-30 10:12:02] webmaster at raphaelmichel dot de Description: ------------ It would be awesome to have a function in the standard library which either one working like strptime() but returning a UNIX timestamp or one converting an array like those returned by strptime() into a UNIX timestamp. Test script: --------------- <?php function strptime_array_to_timestamp($array) { if(!empty($array['unparsed'])) { return false; } return mktime( isset($array['tm_hour']) ? $array['tm_hour'] : null, isset($array['tm_min']) ? $array['tm_min'] : null, isset($array['tm_sec']) ? $array['tm_sec'] : null, isset($array['tm_mon']) ? 1+$array['tm_mon'] : null, isset($array['tm_mday']) ? $array['tm_mday'] : null, isset($array['tm_year']) ? 1900+$array['tm_year'] : null); } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55089&edit=1
