note 81611 added to function.strptime

It's not the same as strptime. The array keys are different, for example '%d' will produce 'd' => '12'!!! But it also returns false on failure. <?php function strToTime($date, $format) { $search = array('%d', '%D', '%j', // day '%m', '%M', '%n', // month '%Y', '%y', // year '%G', '%g', '%H', '%h', // hour '%i', '%s'); $replace = array('(\d{2})', '(\w{3})', '(\d{1,2})', //day '(\d{2})', '(\w{3})', '(\d{1,2})', // month '(\d{4})', '(\d{2})', // year '(\d{1,2})', '(\d{1,2})', '\d{2}', '\d{2}', // hour '(\d{2})', '(\d{2})'); $pattern = str_replace($search, $replace, $format); if(!preg_match("#$pattern#", $date, $matches)) { return false; } $dp = $matches; if(!preg_match_all('#%(\w)#', $format, $matches)) { return false; } $id = $matches['1']; if(count($dp) != count($id)+1) { return false; } $ret = array(); for($i=0, $j=count($id); $i<$j; $i++) { $ret[$id[$i]] = $dp[$i+1]; } return $ret; } ?> ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 83.181.36.105 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strptime.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/81611 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/81611 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/81611 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
