To return amount of time on online: $time_online = time(); ex: 1087064037 (06/20/2004 13:13:57) gmstrftime('%H:%M:%S',$time_online) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-11 16:43:08] jmcastagnetto@php.net Added a note in the manual page for gmdate about the broken system libs in Windows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-11 16:38:53] jmcastagnetto@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS.

We can't fix windows, you need to ask Microsoft to do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-11 03:51:43] space at arch dot ch please at least read the post! this is a WINDOWS issue. *nix/solaris installations do not have the problem! #22457 seemed to be about win. the reply about unix. [???] again: --------------------------------------------- gmmktime(0,0,0,1,1,1970); gives: Warning: gmmktime() [function.gmmktime]: Windows does not support negative values for this function --------------------------------------------- why? #14391 is referred in #22457 and describes the problem thoroghly. but no solution has been presented since 2 years. the question is, if this will be fixed for windows platforms or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-10 09:45:21] sniper@php.net See bug #22457 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
