Here's a nifty little function that returns a random timestamp between two dates.
<?php
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Return a random timestamp between two dates (inclusive)
// Example: Tue, 08 Nov 2004 06:47:10 GMT
//
// time - Starting time string
// Valid Examples:
// 10 September 2001
// next Thursday
// last Monday
// now
//
// time2 - Ending time string
function randomTimestamp($time = "" , $time2 = "")
{
if(!$time) $time = strtotime("10 September 2000");
if(!$time2) $time2 = strtotime("24 November 2005");
$timestamp = date(" D, d M Y", rand( settype($time , int) , settype($time2 , int) ));
//Must be called once before becoming random, ???
$timestamp = date(" D, d M Y", rand($time , $time2))." ";//Now it's random
$h = rand(1,23);
if(strlen($h) == 1 ) $h = "0$h";
$t = $h.":";
$d = rand(1,29);
if(strlen($d) == 1 ) $d = "0$d";
$t .= $d.":";
$s = rand(0,59);
if(strlen($s) == 1 ) $s = "0$s";
$t .= $s;
$timestamp .= $t." GMT";
return $timestamp;
}
