PHP check if event has started - php

Im using the following mysql script to display a list of active / upcoming fixtures.
Select * FROM schedule
WHERE schedule.gameDate > CURDATE() OR
( schedule.gameDate = CURDATE() and schedule.gameTime > CURTIME() )
GROUP BY schedule.tournament
ORDER By schedule.gameDate
The above script works perfectly.
However, as an additional check to prevent a user from accessing a fixture which has expired im doing the following.
$curTime = date('H:i:s');
$curDate = date('Y-m-d');
$sql = "SELECT * FROM schedule
WHERE tournament = :tour AND weekNum = :round";
$stmnt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmnt->bindValue(':tour',$tournament);
$stmnt->bindValue(':round', $round);
$stmnt->execute();
$results = $stmnt->fetchAll();
foreach($results as $result){
echo $eventDate = $result['gameDate'];
echo $startTime = $result['gameTime'];
if($curDate > $eventDate){
echo '<h1> CURRENT ROUND ALLREADY STARTED</h1>';
die();
}//if
else if($eventDate==$curDate && $curTime>$startTime){
echo '<h1> CURRENT ROUND ALLREADY STARTED</h1>';
die();
}//else if
}//foreach
My Problem.
The loop never passes the first IF statment which always results to true...
DB Table
When I echo the variables I get the following:
$curTime = 09:30:00
$curDate = 2017-19-03
$eventDate = 2017-03-21
$startTime = 13:00:00
I realize it is not the prettiest code but according to my little experience and logic it should pass both if statments...
Any advise appreciated

Use strtotime() in compare two date in php
Replace if($curDate > $eventDate) with if(strtotime($curDate) > strtotime($eventDate)) and other comparison also

You can convert them to DateTime objects or timestamps to compare. String comparison will only check whether they are equal or not.
So:
$now = new DateTime();
$event = new DateTime($eventDate . ' ' . $startTime);
Then you can check whether dates are equal or later the same way you're already doing. See Example #2 on the Date Diff page of the php website. E.g. $now > $event, etc.

It should be elseif.not else if. There should not be a space between else and if.

Extract only the number of the day of the date and compare it with the current one

I need to extract only the day number of a user's registration date.
And extract only the day number of the current date.
Simply in an if loop, say if the day number the user registered is equal to the day number of the current date, do this, or do that.
Code:
$manager = "Manager";
$managerPRO = "ManagerPRO";
$q = $connessione->prepare("
SELECT * FROM collaboratori
WHERE cat_professionisti = ?
OR cat_professionisti = ?
");
$q->bind_param('ss', $manager,$managerPRO);
$q->execute();
$r = $q->get_result();
while($rr = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r)){
/*REGISTRATION DATE*/
$registrazione = $rr['data_registrazione'];
$timestamp = strtotime($registrazione);
echo date("d", $timestamp) .'=' ;
/*CURRENT DATE*/
$data_corrente = date('Y-m-d');
$timestamp_uno = strtotime($data_corrente);
echo date("d", $timestamp_uno);
/*CONTROL*/
if ($timestamp == $timestamp_uno){
echo "yes".'<br>';
}else{
echo "no".'<br>';
}
}
Result:
18=18no
17=18no
16=18no
16=18no
Why in the first case if 18 = 18 gives me false?
However, if I change the date of the user's registration and therefore the first 18, from 2020/11/18 to 2020/12/18, then the current month gives me yes!
I need that regardless of the month, just by checking the day if it is the same, tell me yes, where am I wrong?
You are comparing timestamps, which are measured in seconds. What you are doing is effectively comparing two different points in time, not the days of the month.
You really should be using DateTime. If you want to compare only the day part then you can do something like this.
$dt1 = new DateTime($registrazione);
$dt2 = new DateTime(); // defaults to now
if($dt1->format('d') === $dt2->format('d')) {
echo "Yes, it's the same day of the month";
} else {
echo 'no!';
}

Get difference between two dates in hours inside foreach loop

What i want is to get difference between start and ends dates for user. there are 3 dates for a user which has start date and end dates. and all dates coming from database when i try i am unable to get desired result which is to get differences between dates such as 2 days, 3 days, 4 days from list of dates, and no error is showing.
My Code
<?php
$eid = $_SESSION['eid'];
$sql = "SELECT empid,ToDate,FromDate from tblleaves where empid=:eid";
$query = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$query->bindParam(':eid',$eid,PDO::PARAM_STR);
$query->execute();
$results = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
if($query->rowCount() > 0) {
foreach($results as $result)
{
$diff = date_diff($result->ToDate, $result->FromDate);
echo $diff->format("%h Hours");
htmlentities($result->FromDate));
}
}
?>
Database:
Is there anything outputted by your echo statement?
As fat as PHP is concerned the value returned by mysql/pdo is a string.
You have at least two options.
From the first example in the php docs for date_diff:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.diff.php
<?php
$datetime1 = new DateTime('2009-10-11');
$datetime2 = new DateTime('2009-10-13');
$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
echo $interval->format('%R%a days');
?>
Notice that they convert the date string to a date object first.
Then you can use date_diff or
$someDateObj->diff($dateObjTwo)
An alternative that works just as well is to select the date fields as a unix timestamp, then subtract both timestamps and convert the remaining absolute value to time in the format you wish. I may follow up with an example of that later.
edit - answering on my tiny phone so I missed the date format issue
Your date format in database is wrong, you have to fix that first by replacing the / with - eg.str_replace('/', '-', $result->ToDate))
then you have to convert the date to correct format like Y-m-d, after that you can check the difference, here is the solution for you
$to = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $result->ToDate)));
$from = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $result->FromDate)));
$datediff = strtotime($to) - strtotime($from);
echo abs(round($datediff / (60 * 60 * 24)));
if you want the difference in hours you can try the below code
$hourdiff = abs(round(($datediff)/3600, 1));
I hope this will help you
I ended up with this code this definitely help others.
$eid=$_SESSION['eid'];
$sql = "SELECT empid,ToDate,FromDate from tblleaves where empid=:eid";
$query = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$query->bindParam(':eid',$eid,PDO::PARAM_STR);
$query->execute();
$results=$query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
if($query->rowCount() > 0)
{
foreach($results as $result)
{
$to = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $result->ToDate)));
$from = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $result->FromDate)));
$hours = round(abs(strtotime($from) - strtotime($to))/60/60).'<br>';
$sum+=$hours;
}
echo '<h5>'.$sum.' Hours '.'</h5>';
}
?>

How to include today when iterating a DatePeriod?

Why is today excluded from the returned values?
SELECT DATE(created) AS reg_date,
COUNT(*) AS user_reg_per_day
FROM users
WHERE created > (NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY)
GROUP BY reg_date
My query seems to be fine, but I use following PHP to fill in the gaps:
function generate_calendar_days() {
$end = date("Y-m-d");
$today = strtotime($end);
$start = strtotime("-30 day", $today);
$start = date('Y-m-d', $start);
$range = new DatePeriod(
DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $start),
new DateInterval('P1D'),
DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $end));
$filler = array();
foreach($range as $date) {
$d = $date->format('Y-m-d');
$filler[$d] = 0;
}
return $filler;
}
My guess is $today is not correct.
There is no reason your query should exclude data from the current day unless there is something odd with the way you are writing data to this table. Are you maybe not seeing it because you are not ordering your results (i.e. it is at bottom of result set)?
It would be giving partial day results for the day 30 days ago. As such, you might consider modifying the WHERE condition a bit:
SELECT DATE(created) AS reg_date,
COUNT(*) AS user_reg_per_day
FROM users
WHERE created >= DATE(DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 30 DAY))
GROUP BY reg_date
ORDER BY reg_date DESC
The following is comments on update question, since it seems problem is in PHP code.
I do not fully understand why you would mix strtotime functionality with DateTime, DateInterval, DatePeriod. It is good to see that you are using those though as those are drastically underused by many developers.
That being said I might rewrite that function as:
function generate_calendar_days($start = 'today', $days = 30, $days_in_past = true) {
$dates = array();
try {
$current_day = new DateTime($start); // time set to 00:00:00
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo ('Failed with: ' . $e->getMessage());
return false;
}
$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
if (true === $days_in_past) {
$interval->invert = 1; // make days step back in time
}
$range = new DatePeriod($current_day, $interval, $days);
foreach($range as $date) {
$dates[] = $date->format('Y-m-d');
}
return $dates;
}
Note that here I have added parameters to make your function more flexible. I also only return an array of date strings so as to make the the function more general purpose. You can leave how to work with the array of dates as an implementation detail outside the scope of this function.
Your zero-filled array can easily be constructed outside the function call like this:
$calendar = array_fill_keys(generate_calendar_days(), 0);
Your sentence is perfect, in fact SELECT (NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY) returns 2013-12-18 22:33:30. I experimented similar odd problems, and it was because our DDBB server had a different time configuration than our Apache Server, and it gaves us weird results.
Check your servers time configuration, (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/time-zone-support.html)
You can see from the comments in the PHP manual that people have had the trouble including the end date when iterating a DatePeriod. There are various modifications suggested there that can help with that, but for what you're doing you don't really need the end date, since you're always just going back a set number of days from the current date.
You can include the end date by using the "recurrences" form of the DatePeriod constructor.
function generate_calendar_days(int $n): array
{
$range = new DatePeriod(new DateTime("-$n day"), new DateInterval('P1D'), $n);
foreach($range as $date) {
$filler[$date->format('Y-m-d')] = 0;
}
return $filler;
}
$days = generate_calendar_days(30);

loop array values

Here I access 'date' key values from rows of DB table. And I can echo these values, no problem.
$res = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM alfred ORDER BY id ASC");
$row = $res->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
foreach ($row as $key => $value){
$availDate = $value['date'];
echo $availDate.'<br />';
}
This loop above shows all 'date' values from DB, in this case there are 3 dates- "2012-09-25" "2012-09-27" and "2012-09-29".
But then I need to compare each of these 'date' values against values of $date->format('Y-m-d') from the code below and display each date with corresponding "busy" or "available" status into separate <td> of the table. My following version compares only the "last" value of 'date' key - "2012-09-29", but I need to compare each 'date' value from the array above, it means also "2012-09-25" and "2012-09-27". I have tried many versions but still unsuccessful. Any ideas?
$date = new DateTime();
$endDate = new DateTime('+10 day');
for($date->format('Y-m-d'); $date->format('Y-m-d') < $endDate->format('Y-m-d'); $date->modify('+1 day')){
if ($date->format('Y-m-d') == $availDate){
echo '<td>'.$date->format('Y-m-d/D').' busy</td>';
} else {
echo '<td>'.$date->format('Y-m-d/D').' available</td>';
}
}
Here is the result I am getting now:
2012-09-21/Fri available 2012-09-22/Sat available 2012-09-23/Sun available 2012-09-24/Mon available 2012-09-25/Tue available 2012-09-26/Wed available 2012-09-27/Thu available 2012-09-28/Fri available 2012-09-29/Sat busy 2012-09-30/Sun available
But in fact I need to show "busy" status also into <td> of "2012-09-25" and <td> of "2012-09-27" as these also are 'date' values that are existing in $row array. Unfortunately I can not post any images here to show, but I hope my result above gives you the idea.
SOLVED with the help of in_array below:
$aAvailDate = array();
foreach ($row as $key => $value){
$aAvailDate[] = $value['date'];
}
$date = new DateTime();
$endDate = new DateTime('+10 day');
for($date->format('Y-m-d'); $date->format('Y-m-d') < $endDate->format('Y-m-d'); $date->modify('+1 day')){
if (in_array($date->format('Y-m-d'), $aAvailDate)){
echo '<td>'.$date->format('Y-m-d/D').' busy</td>';
} else {
echo '<td>'.$date->format('Y-m-d/D').' available</td>';
}
}
I haven't tested your code, but I think you are running ->format('Y-m-d') unnecessarily here, and this is messing up your logic.
Every time you run that, PHP is turning your object into a string, which you are then comparing against other strings. This won't do anything useful.
Instead, you should be using the features of the DateTime class to compare the objects themselves. The only time you should need to use the format() method is when outputting to the browser, into an SQL query, etc
Although your Question is Unclear but AFAIK
you want to display "Busy" if available date occurs between given date upto 3 Weeks
otherwise display "free"
I would like to suggest you to do this with MySQL (Not tested)
SELECT *,
IF( `DateCol` BETWEEN NOW() AND DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 WEEK), 'Busy','Free')
AS status
FROM TableName
Try a while loop instead of a foreach. Also, compare the DateTime objects directly, not the formatted strings.
$date = new DateTime();
$endDate = new DateTime('+3 week');
while( $date < $endDate) {
if ($date->format('Y-m-d') == $availDate){
echo '<td class="busy">busy</td>';
} else {
echo '<td>free</td>';
}
$date->modify("+1 day");
}
Something like this? (If I understand what you're trying to do correctly)
<?php
$avail_dates = array();
$res = $mysqli->query("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date, '%Y-%m-%d') AS availDate FROM alfred ORDER BY id ASC");
$row = $res->fetch_all(MYSQLI_ASSOC);
foreach ($row as $key => $value){
$avail_dates[] = $value['availDate'];
}
$startDate = date('Y-m-d');
$endDate = date('Y-m-d', strtotime(date("Y-m-d", strtotime($startDate)) . " +3 week"));
?>
<table>
<?php
foreach ($avail_dates as $availDate){
echo "<tr><td>$availDate</td>";
if (($startDate <= $availDate) && ($endDate >= $availDate)){
echo "<td class='busy'>busy</td>";
}else{
echo "<td>free</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
?>
Instead of printing values, I would add them to the array, and then run a loop on that array, comparing the values to the given start and end dates. I also wouldn't fetch all from the table if you nly need a date.
May be like this?
$date = new DateTime();
$endDate = new DateTime('+3 week');
for($date->format('Y-m-d'); $date->format('Y-m-d') < $endDate->format('Y-m-d'); $date->modify('+1 day')){
$tempDate = $date->format('Y-m-d');
if ($tempDate === $availDate){
echo '<td class="busy">busy</td>';
} else {
echo '<td>free</td>';
}
}

Php not reading date as <= to current date correctly

I have tried every combo I can think of / found and no matter what I do, my codet echos the message even if the account isn't locked out:
<?php
$infosql = "SELECT * FROM premiersounds_users WHERE customer_id = $id";
$inforesult = mysql_query($infosql) or die(mysql_error());
$info = mysql_fetch_array($inforesult);
//Get current date from server
$format="%m/%d/%y";
$c_date=strftime($format);
//set sessions
$_SESSION['current_date'] = $c_date;
//The date in the database is 10/31/11
$_SESSION['lockout_date'] = $l_date;
//Check is Current date = lockout date
if ($c_date <= $l_date) {
header("location:documnet_editors/edit_weddingplanner.php?id=$id");
}
else {
echo 'Whoops! Were sorry your account has been locked to edits
because your event is less than 48 hours from now or your event has passed.
To make changes to your event please contact your DJ.';
}
?>
<?php
//Destroy Session for Lockout Date to prevent bypasses
unset($_SESSION['lockout_date']);
?>
If your $l_date is populated, and I don't think it is, if it is stored as MM/DD/YY, you'll want to use PHP's strtotime to convert it to a unix timestamp for quick comparison:
if( strtotime($db_date) >= time() )
{
// do something
}
I would suggest comparing timestamps instead of formatted dates:
<?php
$date_a = new DateTime();
$date_b = new DateTime('2000-10-20 00:10:20');
if ($date_a->getTimestamp() > $date_b->getTimestamp()) {
echo 1;
} else {
echo 0;
}
convert your dates to unixtime for more accurate comparison. Add this function to your code:
function unix_time($date){
$unix_date = str_replace("-","/",$date);
$unix_date = str_replace(".","/",$unix_date);
$unix_date = str_replace(" pm","",$unix_date);
$unix_date = str_replace(" am","",$unix_date);
$time = strtotime($unix_date);
return $time;
}
then convert the dates to unix:
$l_date = unix_time($_SESSION['lockout_date']);
$c_date = unix_time($_SESSION['current_date']);
or you can also get the date directly from the database:
$l_date = unix_time($info['date_in_database']);
compare the dates in unix format:
if ($c_date = $l_date) {
// your code here
}
this should work.
