note 58047 added to function.strtotime

Hi, a simple function which returns the desired interval around the given timestamp as an array with the elements 'to' and 'from'. Possible intervals are: "minute", "hour", "day", "week", "month", "year". If the requested interval is "week", you can additionally provide the first_day_of_week. <?php function time_to_interval($timestamp, $interval, $first_day_of_week="Sunday") { $interval_array = array(); $interval_array['from'] = $timestamp; $interval_array['to'] = $timestamp; switch ($interval) { case "minute" : $from = date("Y-m-d H:i:00", $timestamp); $to = date("Y-m-d H:i:00", strtotime($from . " + 1 minute")); break; case "hour" : $from = date("Y-m-d H:00:00", $timestamp); $to = date("Y-m-d H:00:00", strtotime($from . " + 1 hour")); break; case "day" : $from = date("Y-m-d 00:00:00", $timestamp); $to = date("Y-m-d 00:00:00", strtotime($from . " + 1 day")); break; case "week" : $to = date("Y-m-d 00:00:00", strtotime("this $first_day_of_week", $timestamp)); $from = date("Y-m-d 00:00:00", strtotime("last $first_day_of_week", $timestamp)); break; case "month" : $from = date("Y-m-01 00:00:00",$timestamp); $to = date("Y-m-01 00:00:00", strtotime($from . " + 1 month")); break; case "year" : $from = date("Y-01-01 00:00:00", $timestamp); $to = date("Y-01-01 00:00:00", strtotime($from . " + 1 year")); break; } $interval_array['from'] = strtotime($from); $interval_array['to'] = strtotime($to); return $interval_array; } # Use it like : $timestamp = time(); $interval = time_to_interval($timestamp, "hour"); if ($mytime >= $interval['from'] && $mytime < $interval['to']){ // do something } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58047 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58047&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58047&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
