mktime -- get UNIX timestamp for a date Descriptionint mktime(int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year); Warning: Note the strange order of
arguments, which differs from the order of arguments in
a regular UNIX mktime() call and which does not lend
itself well to leaving out parameters from right to left
(see below). It is a common error to mix these values up
in a script.
Returns the Unix timestamp corresponding to the arguments
given. This timestamp is a long integer containing the number of
seconds between the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970) and the time
specified.
Arguments may be left out in order from right to left; any
arguments thus omitted will be set to the current value according
to the local date and time.
MkTime is useful for doing date arithmetic and validation, as it
will automatically calculate the correct value for out-of-range
input. For example, each of the following lines produces the
string "Jan-01-1998".
Example 1. mktime() example echo date( "M-d-Y", mktime(0,0,0,12,32,1997) );
echo date( "M-d-Y", mktime(0,0,0,13,1,1997) );
echo date( "M-d-Y", mktime(0,0,0,1,1,1998) ); |
