note 53711 added to function.mktime

i was writing a mini auction script and tried to replicate ebay's 7 day listing. so if you post your auction today, it will end exactly 7 days later, exact up to the seconds. $today = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); // get today's date $sep = explode(" ",$today); // split into day and time $day = $sep[0]; $time = $sep[1]; $timesep = explode(":",$time); // split time into hr, min, sec $hour = $timesep[0]; $min = $timesep[1]; $sec = $timesep[2]; $enddate = mktime($hour,$min,$sec, date("m"),date("d")+7,date("Y")); // add 7 to the day, the hour, minutes and second are grabbed from the current time using variables from the $timesep explode $enddate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $enddate); // the enddate echo $enddate; voila! ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+53711 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53711&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53711&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53711&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53711&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+53711&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+53711&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
