Date and time manipulation

PHP
1

Hi All.

I’m learning how to manipulate dates and times and using the code
below came up with time of “12:12:00”.

How do I do this example calculation and return a time of 00:12:00?

$start = ‘2009-08-18 00:02:00’;
$newdatetime = strtotime(‘+10 minute’, strtotime($start));
echo date(‘d-m-y h:i:s’, $newdatetime);

I also need to create a form for a user to easily enter a date and time which defaults to the current date and time. Can anybody point me to an example application that does this.

Is there such thing as a time picker?

Thanks

A lower case ‘h’ will display the hours using the 12-hour format, so it was actually showing the right time (24-hour 00 == 12-hour 12).

You want ‘d-m-y H:i:s’. More info on http://www.php.net/date

As for datepickers, there are millions. If you’re using jQuery, you might want to investigate jQuery.ui’s datepicker. Otherwise try googling javascript date pickers and choose one you like :wink:
