Re: String to time

This is cool, like perl's Time::ParseDate. Nice. How would you feel about changing the function name to parsedate() (like Perl)? -dave Nick Sayer (nsayer@quack.kfu.com) wrote: : I have just finished another loadable function. This one is an : interface to a routine I swiped out of C-news a long time ago. : It's a YACC thing called 'getdate'. You give it a free form date : string and it turns it into a time_t. It also accepts offset style : date input, such as "now + 1 minute". It takes as input a time value : to be used as the base for such relative time strings. : My strtotime() function takes either 1 or 2 arguments. The first is : the string, the second is an optional timeval (the default is the : current time if this argument is left out). It returns a timeval, : or -1 if the input specifies an illegal time (years must be 1970-2099, : the way I compiled it. As it was in C-news, years beyond 2000 didn't work, : but the fix was simple). : I can provide it to anyone who is interested. I didn't find a similar : function in the manual (at least one whose input was as free-form). If : it exists, then tell me and watch me turn beet red. :-) : -- : PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> : To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net : For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net : To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
