note 80333 added to function.getdate

It's worth noting that this is local time, not UTC/GMT - gmgetdate doesn't exist :(. The most logical way to handle date arithmetic without hitting DST problems is to work in UTC... function add_days($my_date,$numdays) { $date_t = strtotime($my_date.' UTC'); return gmdate('Y-m-d',$date_t + ($numdays*86400)); } [it's even faster if you use gmmktime instead of strtotime] ---- Server IP: 87.124.64.96 Probable Submitter: 213.208.117.249 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/80333 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/80333 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/80333 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
