It should be noted in the example, that time() + (7*24*60*60) and strtotime("+1 week") do not always generate the same timestamp. The problem occurs when the daylight saving time changes. Therefore it's usually better to use strtotime.. Example: the last time the time changed in the Czech republic was on the 30th March 2008, from 2:00 to 3:00. Assume it is Wednesday, the 26th March 2008, 23:59. If you call <?php echo date("l, jS F Y, H:i",strtotime("+1 week")); ?> you get Wednesday, 2nd April 2008, 23:59, as you would predict, although if you try <?php echo date("l, jS F Y, H:i",time()+(7*24*60*60)); ?> you get Thursday, 3rd April 2008, 00:59. Here's where things might get a bit confusing, if you don't expect it! Suddenly you find the food list for the next week is gone :D ! ---- Server IP: 147.32.160.17 Probable Submitter: 62.177.106.40 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.time.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84531 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84531 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84531 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
