note 58891 added to function.date

Here you have final functions for date and timestamp formatting! Date formatting is german - you may change it ! function stamp2date($stamp){ // expects a valid timestamp return date("d.m.Y", $stamp); // returns 19.11.2005 } function date2stamp($date){ // format: 19.11.2005 $tmp = explode(".", $date); return mktime(0,0,0,$tmp[1], $tmp[0], $tmp[2]); } Tweak it for yourself! But these vice-versa functions will help you a lot with handling dates on databases <> forms ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58891 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58891&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58891&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
