On Jul 3, 2003, "Garrick Linn" claimed that:
|Hello all,
|
|I seem to be running into a problem where the date() function appears not
|to differentiate properly between unix timestamps.
|
|For example, the code:
|
|<?php
|
|$seconds = 1054278483;
|echo "$seconds<br>";
|echo date("d-m-Y H:m:s", $seconds);
|echo "<br><br>";
|
|$seconds = ($seconds - 60);
|echo "$seconds<br>";
|echo date("d-m-Y H:m:s", $seconds);
|echo "<br><br>";
|
|?>
|
|outputs
|
|1054278483
|30-05-2003 02:05:03
|
|1054278423
|30-05-2003 02:05:03
|
|I would expect the second date() to output 30-05-2003 02:04:03 as the
|second timestamp is exactly 60 seconds behind the first, but I might be
|missing something. I see the same behavior on two redhat linux machines
|running Apache 2.0.40 + PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.3.26 + PHP 4.3.2
|respectively. Any ideas?
|
|Thanks,
|

As has been pointed out before, you expect incorrectly. The value of 'm'
won't change depending on what's around it. The correct formats are listed
at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
