note 97441 added to function.date

I made this function so I can convert microtime (microseconds) into millitime (milliseconds). In this particular case, I have a function that when I give a valid Date, following or not by a pattern (like 'Y-m-d') and using the micro_to_millis intermediate function, it returns the given Date in milliseconds. By the other side, the date_from_millis function returns a valid and formatted date from a given milli number. <?php // simple way to avoid magic numbers DEFINE(MILLI, 1000); DEFINE(RPRECISION, 10); DEFINE(DAY_SECONDS, 86400); function date_to_millis($date, $pattern='d.m.Y') { $millisPerDay = DAY_SECONDS*MILLI; list($d, $m, $y) = explode($date, '.'); return micro_to_milli($d*$m*$y*$millisPerDay); } function micro_to_milli($microDate=null) { $date = ($date) ? $date : microtime(); list ($usec, $sec) = explode (' ', $date); return (float) $sec*MILLI + round($usec/MILLI, RPRECISION); } function date_from_millis($millis, $pattern='d.m.Y') { $millis = ($millis) ? $millis : micro_to_milli(); // returns the date using the given pattern or 'd.m.y' by default return date($pattern, $millis/MILLI); } // actual date $date = date('d.m.Y'); var_dump($date); // actual date in milliseconds $milliFromDate = date_to_millis($date); var_dump($milliFromDate); // actual date back from millis $dateFromMilli = date_from_millis($milli); var_dump($dateFromMilli); ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 187.64.38.100 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/97441 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/97441 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/97441 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
