hi,
i'm new to php.
how to show the time / date, a message is posted. like in forums, there are something like, "5 minutes ago", "8 hourse 17 minutes ago", "Yesterdar" , "10-07-2008". in every post.
thanks

You'll have to store the time in the database. Make this column datetime eg: - ALTER TABLE somthing ADD date_added datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT "0000-00-00 00:00:00"
You can get the current time by usind the date(); function in PHP:
[PHP]
$date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', time());
[/PHP]
This will give you time in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss. As for displaying it in formats such as 'Yesterday' and '5 Days Ago' etc. you will need to do additional PHP coding.

I used the following script for a site to stop displaying after a date /
time, but it seems huge. Any ideas on how to make it shorter? There are
many events in this list.
function events() {
var today = new Date();
var dayarray=new Array("Sun","Mon","Tue","Wed","Thu","Fri","Sat")
var montharray=new

Many scripts and calendars call client side system time in order to
make presentations.
However, the client's time may be improperly set, if set at all,
and/or the relevant time may be from another time zone.
It would be of great value if the time of some central source could be
drawn, in the form of a ".js" file, into the script to avoid
dependence on the client's date/time.

I am sorry if this has been asked before, but I looked all over for
exactly what I need, before asking you guys. I know that it has
something to do with the Date object, but I'm not sure how to
manipulate it.
I have 2 input fields, startTime, and finishTime.
The times need to be entered like 7:30am or 11:36pm.
All I want is to subtract the finishTime from the startTime to see how
long something took. I almost had it once, except...

Hi,
(newbie question)
I've created some simple .NET ASP application that should store cookies at the client machine.
According to the documentation cookie expiration time is set via HttpCookie.Expires property, but property value is the time of day on the client.
How can I possibly know client local time ?

My D-Link DSL-302G modem/router has a real-time clock whose settings

could then add the hacked JS page to my browser's bookmarks. I've
already successfully modified and adapted other modem menus, but I
don't know how to go about this...

Hello,
I have 2 time fields dynamically generated in format "m/d/y H:m".
Could someone show me a good function to calculate the time interval
difference in minutes? I played with strtotime() but but that only
gave me difference in hours and only if the times were on the same day
(after wrapping with date() function). TIA
