I have a dynamic date, now what i want is that finding the date after exact one week, i have achieved that with the code below, but now i want that now many days are left for that week after date to come. i have got some sort of time stamp, but i don't know how to convert it to DAYS LEFT.
$weekDate = date( "d/m/Y", strtotime("19-05-2014") + 86400 * 7 );
echo $weekDate;// THATS PERFECT
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$future = strtotime( $weekDate ); //Future date.
$datediff = time() - $future;
$days = floor( ( ( $datediff / 24 ) / 60 ) / 60 ); //this is not perfect, returns some
sort of timestamp
I have tried other methods which are fine, but if week completes on 26, and today is 25th it gives me 0 days left, but it should say 1 day left. please help me.
In your $date_diff now is less than the future date thats why its zero. Inside strtotime() function, you can directly put a relative date inside. In this case, for one week you can use +1 week or +7 days. Consider this example:
$next_week = date('d/m/Y', strtotime('19-05-2014 +1 week')); // 26/05/2014
$next_week = strtotime('19-05-2014 +7 days');
$difference = $next_week - time(); // next weeks date minus todays date
$difference = date('j', $difference);
echo $difference . (($difference > 1) ? ' days ' : ' day ') . ' left';
// should output: 1 day left
Alright. I did something. Here's the code
$startDate = strtotime("19-05-2014");
$endDate = $startDate + 604800;
$diff = ($endDate - time()) / 60 / 60 / 24;
if ($diff < 1 && $diff > 0) {
$days = 1;
} else {
$days = floor($diff);
}
echo $days;
The problem you have with getting "1 day" if the date is tomorrow is the floor method. strtotime() gives you the time at 0 a.m. if you don't set it by your own. Because of that the difference between now and tomorrow is less than 1 which is 0 if you floor that. I created an if-clause for that.
But that will give you "1 day" for today and "1 day" for yesterday (last 2 days before the final date). If you want that better, you have to specify time in your initial date (19-05-2014).
Use DateTime for date and time calculations.
$weekDate = new \DateTime('+ 1 week');
$future = new \DateTime('+ 3 days');
$daysLeft = $weekDate->diff($future)->days;
echo $daysLeft; //4
See it working.

How do I calculate the difference between two dates in hours?
For example:
day1=2006-04-12 12:30:00
day2=2006-04-14 11:30:00
In this case the result should be 47 hours.
The newer PHP-Versions provide some new classes called DateTime, DateInterval, DateTimeZone and DatePeriod. The cool thing about this classes is, that it considers different timezones, leap years, leap seconds, summertime, etc. And on top of that it's very easy to use. Here's what you want with the help of this objects:
// Create two new DateTime-objects...
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2006-04-14T11:30:00');
// The diff-methods returns a new DateInterval-object...
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
// Call the format method on the DateInterval-object
echo $diff->format('%a Day and %h hours');
The DateInterval-object, which is returned also provides other methods than format. If you want the result in hours only, you could to something like this:
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2006-04-14T11:30:00');
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
$hours = $diff->h;
$hours = $hours + ($diff->days*24);
echo $hours;
And here are the links for documentation:
DateTime-Class
DateTimeZone-Class
DateInterval-Class
DatePeriod-Class
All these classes also offer a procedural/functional way to operate with dates. Therefore take a look at the overview: http://php.net/manual/book.datetime.php
$t1 = strtotime( '2006-04-14 11:30:00' );
$t2 = strtotime( '2006-04-12 12:30:00' );
$diff = $t1 - $t2;
$hours = $diff / ( 60 * 60 );

//8760 hours (days * 24)
your answer is:
round((strtotime($day2) - strtotime($day1))/(60*60))
The easiest way to get the correct number of hours between two dates (datetimes), even across daylight saving time changes, is to use the difference in Unix timestamps. Unix timestamps are seconds elapsed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds (this is OK because you probably don't need this precision, and because it's quite difficult to take leap seconds into account).
The most flexible way to convert a datetime string with optional timezone information into a Unix timestamp is to construct a DateTime object (optionally with a DateTimeZone as a second argument in the constructor), and then call its getTimestamp method.
$str1 = '2006-04-12 12:30:00';
$str2 = '2006-04-14 11:30:00';
$tz1 = new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Apia');
$tz2 = $tz1;
$d1 = new DateTime($str1, $tz1); // tz is optional,
$d2 = new DateTime($str2, $tz2); // and ignored if str contains tz offset
$delta_h = ($d2->getTimestamp() - $d1->getTimestamp()) / 3600;
if ($rounded_result) {
$delta_h = round ($delta_h);
} else if ($truncated_result) {
$delta_h = intval($delta_h);
}
echo "Δh: $delta_h\n";
//Calculate number of hours between pass and now
$dayinpass = "2013-06-23 05:09:12";
$today = time();
$dayinpass= strtotime($dayinpass);
echo round(abs($today-$dayinpass)/60/60);
<?
$day1 = "2014-01-26 11:30:00";
$day1 = strtotime($day1);
$day2 = "2014-01-26 12:30:00";
$day2 = strtotime($day2);
$diffHours = round(($day2 - $day1) / 3600);
echo $diffHours;
?>
$day1 = "2006-04-12 12:30:00"
$day1 = strtotime($day1);
$day2 = "2006-04-14 11:30:00"
$day2 = strtotime($day2);
$diffHours = round(($day2 - $day1) / 3600);
I guess strtotime() function accept this date format.
Unfortunately the solution provided by FaileN doesn't work as stated by Walter Tross.. days may not be 24 hours!
I like to use the PHP Objects where possible and for a bit more flexibility I have come up with the following function:
/**
* #param DateTimeInterface $a
* #param DateTimeInterface $b
* #param bool $absolute Should the interval be forced to be positive?
* #param string $cap The greatest time unit to allow
*
* #return DateInterval The difference as a time only interval
*/
function time_diff(DateTimeInterface $a, DateTimeInterface $b, $absolute=false, $cap='H'){
// Get unix timestamps, note getTimeStamp() is limited
$b_raw = intval($b->format("U"));
$a_raw = intval($a->format("U"));
// Initial Interval properties
$h = 0;
$m = 0;
$invert = 0;
// Is interval negative?
if(!$absolute && $b_raw<$a_raw){
$invert = 1;
}
// Working diff, reduced as larger time units are calculated
$working = abs($b_raw-$a_raw);
// If capped at hours, calc and remove hours, cap at minutes
if($cap == 'H') {
$h = intval($working/3600);
$working -= $h * 3600;
$cap = 'M';
}
// If capped at minutes, calc and remove minutes
if($cap == 'M') {
$m = intval($working/60);
$working -= $m * 60;
}
// Seconds remain
$s = $working;
// Build interval and invert if necessary
$interval = new DateInterval('PT'.$h.'H'.$m.'M'.$s.'S');
$interval->invert=$invert;
return $interval;
}
This like date_diff() creates a DateTimeInterval, but with the highest unit as hours rather than years.. it can be formatted as usual.
$interval = time_diff($date_a, $date_b);
echo $interval->format('%r%H'); // For hours (with sign)
N.B. I have used format('U') instead of getTimestamp() because of the comment in the manual. Also note that 64-bit is required for post-epoch and pre-negative-epoch dates!
Carbon could also be a nice way to go.
From their website:
A simple PHP API extension for DateTime. http://carbon.nesbot.com/
Example:
use Carbon\Carbon;
//...
$day1 = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2006-04-12 12:30:00');
$day2 = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2006-04-14 11:30:00');
echo $day1->diffInHours($day2); // 47
//...
Carbon extends the DateTime class to inherit methods including diff(). It adds nice sugars like diffInHours, diffInMintutes, diffInSeconds e.t.c.
This function helps you to calculate exact years and months between two given dates, $doj1 and $doj. It returns example 4.3 means 4 years and 3 month.
<?php
function cal_exp($doj1)
{
$doj1=strtotime($doj1);
$doj=date("m/d/Y",$doj1); //till date or any given date
$now=date("m/d/Y");
//$b=strtotime($b1);
//echo $c=$b1-$a2;
//echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$c);
$year=date("Y");
//$chk_leap=is_leapyear($year);
//$year_diff=365.25;
$x=explode("/",$doj);
$y1=explode("/",$now);
$yy=$x[2];
$mm=$x[0];
$dd=$x[1];
$yy1=$y1[2];
$mm1=$y1[0];
$dd1=$y1[1];
$mn=0;
$mn1=0;
$ye=0;
if($mm1>$mm)
{
$mn=$mm1-$mm;
if($dd1<$dd)
{
$mn=$mn-1;
}
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
}
else if($mm1<$mm)
{
$mn=12-$mm;
//$mn=$mn;
if($mm!=1)
{
$mn1=$mm1-1;
}
$mn+=$mn1;
if($dd1>$dd)
{
$mn+=1;
}
$yy=$yy+1;
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
}
else
{
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
$ye=$ye-1;
$mn=12-1;
if($dd1>$dd)
{
$ye+=1;
$mn=0;
}
}
$to=$ye." year and ".$mn." months";
return $ye.".".$mn;
/*return daysDiff($x[2],$x[0],$x[1]);
$days=dateDiff("/",$now,$doj)/$year_diff;
$days_exp=explode(".",$days);
return $years_exp=$days; //number of years exp*/
}
?>
In addition to #fyrye's very helpful answer this is an okayish workaround for the mentioned bug (this one), that DatePeriod substracts one hour when entering summertime, but doesn't add one hour when leaving summertime (and thus Europe/Berlin's March has its correct 743 hours but October has 744 instead of 745 hours):
Counting the hours of a month (or any timespan), considering DST-transitions in both directions
function getMonthHours(string $year, string $month, \DateTimeZone $timezone): int
{
// or whatever start and end \DateTimeInterface objects you like
$start = new \DateTimeImmutable($year . '-' . $month . '-01 00:00:00', $timezone);
$end = new \DateTimeImmutable((new \DateTimeImmutable($year . '-' . $month . '-01 23:59:59', $timezone))->format('Y-m-t H:i:s'), $timezone);
// count the hours just utilizing \DatePeriod, \DateInterval and iterator_count, hell yeah!
$hours = iterator_count(new \DatePeriod($start, new \DateInterval('PT1H'), $end));
// find transitions and check, if there is one that leads to a positive offset
// that isn't added by \DatePeriod
// this is the workaround for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75685
$transitions = $timezone->getTransitions((int)$start->format('U'), (int)$end->format('U'));
if (2 === count($transitions) && $transitions[0]['offset'] - $transitions[1]['offset'] > 0) {
$hours += (round(($transitions[0]['offset'] - $transitions[1]['offset'])/3600));
}
return $hours;
}
$myTimezoneWithDST = new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '01', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '03', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 743
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '10', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 745, finally!
$myTimezoneWithoutDST = new \DateTimeZone('UTC');
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '01', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '03', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '10', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
P.S. If you check a (longer) timespan, which leads to more than those two transitions, my workaround won't touch the counted hours to reduce the potential of funny side effects. In such cases, a more complicated solution must be implemented. One could iterate over all found transitions and compare the current with the last and check if it is one with DST true->false.
$diff_min = ( strtotime( $day2 ) - strtotime( $day1 ) ) / 60 / 60;
$total_time = $diff_min;
You can try this one.
// Create two new DateTime-objects...
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2006-04-14T11:30:00');
// The diff-method returns difference in days...
$diffInDays = $date2->diffInDays($date1);
// The diff-method returns difference in hours...
$diffInHours = $date2->diffInHours($date1);
// The diff-method returns difference in mintes...
$diffInMinutes = $date2->diffInMinutes($date1);
The second part of the answer from #fidi doesn't factor in months/years.
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2010-04-14T11:30:00');
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
$hours = $diff->h;
$days = intval($diff->format('%a'));
$hours = $hours + ($days*24);
echo $hours;
This is working in my project. I think, This will be helpful for you.
If Date is in past then invert will 1.
If Date is in future then invert will 0.
$defaultDate = date('Y-m-d');
$datetime1 = new DateTime('2013-03-10');
$datetime2 = new DateTime($defaultDate);
$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
$days = $interval->format('%a');
$invert = $interval->invert;
To pass a unix timestamp use this notation
$now = time();
$now = new DateTime("#$now");
I have problem when i want calculate date. Simple Example:
I have 2013-09-01 is start date and I have 30day per month. My work i need alert tell to my user in 10 day before end month(it's mean on 2013-09-20i must alert message it's 10day more for end of this month). So every one have any idea for help to calculate it. becuese i like can't (+, -, *,/) on date. Now i am some data like
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Phnom_Penh');
$current = time();
$start = 1380188957;
echo 'Start date: '. date('Y-m-d', $start) ."\n";
echo '<br/>';
$repeat = 30;
$enddate = time() + ($repeat * 24 * 60 * 60);
echo 'end date: '. date('Y-m-d', $enddate) ."\n";
Thanks in advent for helping.
Not every month has 31 days, you can get the number of days in any month by using the t option for the string format param in php's date() function.
// Current time as unix timestamp
$now = time();
// Number of days in current month
$days_this_month = date("t", time());
// Last day of the current month as a unix timestamp;
$end_of_month = strtotime(date("Y-m-t", time()));
// Ten days before the end of the month as a unix timestamp
$ten_days = strtotime('-10 days', $end_of_month);
Now we can do a check to see if it is 10 days before the end of the month:
if($now > $ten_days) {
// Do something
}
$start = 1380188957;
$enddate = time() + ($repeat * 24 * 60 * 60);
That's your own code. Using that we can easily compute 10 days before end date
$alert=$enddate-864000; // That's 10 days
$alertdate=date('Y-m-d', $alert);
How do I calculate the difference between two dates in hours?
For example:
day1=2006-04-12 12:30:00
day2=2006-04-14 11:30:00
In this case the result should be 47 hours.

// The diff-methods returns a new DateInterval-object...
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
// Call the format method on the DateInterval-object
echo $diff->format('%a Day and %h hours');

$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
$hours = $diff->h;
$hours = $hours + ($diff->days*24);
echo $hours;

Unix timestamps are seconds elapsed since 1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC, ignoring leap seconds (this is OK because you probably don't need this precision, and because it's quite difficult to take leap seconds into account).
The most flexible way to convert a datetime string with optional timezone information into a Unix timestamp is to construct a DateTime object (optionally with a DateTimeZone as a second argument in the constructor), and then call its getTimestamp method.
$str1 = '2006-04-12 12:30:00';
$str2 = '2006-04-14 11:30:00';
$tz1 = new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Apia');
$tz2 = $tz1;
$d1 = new DateTime($str1, $tz1); // tz is optional,
$d2 = new DateTime($str2, $tz2); // and ignored if str contains tz offset
$delta_h = ($d2->getTimestamp() - $d1->getTimestamp()) / 3600;
if ($rounded_result) {
$delta_h = round ($delta_h);
} else if ($truncated_result) {
$delta_h = intval($delta_h);
}
echo "Δh: $delta_h\n";
//Calculate number of hours between pass and now
$dayinpass = "2013-06-23 05:09:12";
$today = time();
$dayinpass= strtotime($dayinpass);
echo round(abs($today-$dayinpass)/60/60);
<?
$day1 = "2014-01-26 11:30:00";
$day1 = strtotime($day1);
$day2 = "2014-01-26 12:30:00";
$day2 = strtotime($day2);
$diffHours = round(($day2 - $day1) / 3600);
echo $diffHours;
?>
$day1 = "2006-04-12 12:30:00"
$day1 = strtotime($day1);
$day2 = "2006-04-14 11:30:00"
$day2 = strtotime($day2);
$diffHours = round(($day2 - $day1) / 3600);
I guess strtotime() function accept this date format.
Unfortunately the solution provided by FaileN doesn't work as stated by Walter Tross.. days may not be 24 hours!
I like to use the PHP Objects where possible and for a bit more flexibility I have come up with the following function:
/**
* #param DateTimeInterface $a
* #param DateTimeInterface $b
* #param bool $absolute Should the interval be forced to be positive?
* #param string $cap The greatest time unit to allow
*
* #return DateInterval The difference as a time only interval
*/
function time_diff(DateTimeInterface $a, DateTimeInterface $b, $absolute=false, $cap='H'){
// Get unix timestamps, note getTimeStamp() is limited
$b_raw = intval($b->format("U"));
$a_raw = intval($a->format("U"));
// Initial Interval properties
$h = 0;
$m = 0;
$invert = 0;
// Is interval negative?
if(!$absolute && $b_raw<$a_raw){
$invert = 1;
}
// Working diff, reduced as larger time units are calculated
$working = abs($b_raw-$a_raw);
// If capped at hours, calc and remove hours, cap at minutes
if($cap == 'H') {
$h = intval($working/3600);
$working -= $h * 3600;
$cap = 'M';
}
// If capped at minutes, calc and remove minutes
if($cap == 'M') {
$m = intval($working/60);
$working -= $m * 60;
}
// Seconds remain
$s = $working;
// Build interval and invert if necessary
$interval = new DateInterval('PT'.$h.'H'.$m.'M'.$s.'S');
$interval->invert=$invert;
return $interval;
}
This like date_diff() creates a DateTimeInterval, but with the highest unit as hours rather than years.. it can be formatted as usual.
$interval = time_diff($date_a, $date_b);
echo $interval->format('%r%H'); // For hours (with sign)
N.B. I have used format('U') instead of getTimestamp() because of the comment in the manual. Also note that 64-bit is required for post-epoch and pre-negative-epoch dates!
Carbon could also be a nice way to go.
From their website:
A simple PHP API extension for DateTime. http://carbon.nesbot.com/
Example:
use Carbon\Carbon;
//...
$day1 = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2006-04-12 12:30:00');
$day2 = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', '2006-04-14 11:30:00');
echo $day1->diffInHours($day2); // 47
//...
Carbon extends the DateTime class to inherit methods including diff(). It adds nice sugars like diffInHours, diffInMintutes, diffInSeconds e.t.c.
This function helps you to calculate exact years and months between two given dates, $doj1 and $doj. It returns example 4.3 means 4 years and 3 month.
<?php
function cal_exp($doj1)
{
$doj1=strtotime($doj1);
$doj=date("m/d/Y",$doj1); //till date or any given date
$now=date("m/d/Y");
//$b=strtotime($b1);
//echo $c=$b1-$a2;
//echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$c);
$year=date("Y");
//$chk_leap=is_leapyear($year);
//$year_diff=365.25;
$x=explode("/",$doj);
$y1=explode("/",$now);
$yy=$x[2];
$mm=$x[0];
$dd=$x[1];
$yy1=$y1[2];
$mm1=$y1[0];
$dd1=$y1[1];
$mn=0;
$mn1=0;
$ye=0;
if($mm1>$mm)
{
$mn=$mm1-$mm;
if($dd1<$dd)
{
$mn=$mn-1;
}
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
}
else if($mm1<$mm)
{
$mn=12-$mm;
//$mn=$mn;
if($mm!=1)
{
$mn1=$mm1-1;
}
$mn+=$mn1;
if($dd1>$dd)
{
$mn+=1;
}
$yy=$yy+1;
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
}
else
{
$ye=$yy1-$yy;
$ye=$ye-1;
$mn=12-1;
if($dd1>$dd)
{
$ye+=1;
$mn=0;
}
}
$to=$ye." year and ".$mn." months";
return $ye.".".$mn;
/*return daysDiff($x[2],$x[0],$x[1]);
$days=dateDiff("/",$now,$doj)/$year_diff;
$days_exp=explode(".",$days);
return $years_exp=$days; //number of years exp*/
}
?>
In addition to #fyrye's very helpful answer this is an okayish workaround for the mentioned bug (this one), that DatePeriod substracts one hour when entering summertime, but doesn't add one hour when leaving summertime (and thus Europe/Berlin's March has its correct 743 hours but October has 744 instead of 745 hours):
Counting the hours of a month (or any timespan), considering DST-transitions in both directions
function getMonthHours(string $year, string $month, \DateTimeZone $timezone): int
{
// or whatever start and end \DateTimeInterface objects you like
$start = new \DateTimeImmutable($year . '-' . $month . '-01 00:00:00', $timezone);
$end = new \DateTimeImmutable((new \DateTimeImmutable($year . '-' . $month . '-01 23:59:59', $timezone))->format('Y-m-t H:i:s'), $timezone);
// count the hours just utilizing \DatePeriod, \DateInterval and iterator_count, hell yeah!
$hours = iterator_count(new \DatePeriod($start, new \DateInterval('PT1H'), $end));
// find transitions and check, if there is one that leads to a positive offset
// that isn't added by \DatePeriod
// this is the workaround for https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75685
$transitions = $timezone->getTransitions((int)$start->format('U'), (int)$end->format('U'));
if (2 === count($transitions) && $transitions[0]['offset'] - $transitions[1]['offset'] > 0) {
$hours += (round(($transitions[0]['offset'] - $transitions[1]['offset'])/3600));
}
return $hours;
}
$myTimezoneWithDST = new \DateTimeZone('Europe/Berlin');
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '01', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '03', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 743
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '10', $myTimezoneWithDST)); // 745, finally!
$myTimezoneWithoutDST = new \DateTimeZone('UTC');
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '01', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '03', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
var_dump(getMonthHours('2020', '10', $myTimezoneWithoutDST)); // 744
P.S. If you check a (longer) timespan, which leads to more than those two transitions, my workaround won't touch the counted hours to reduce the potential of funny side effects. In such cases, a more complicated solution must be implemented. One could iterate over all found transitions and compare the current with the last and check if it is one with DST true->false.
$diff_min = ( strtotime( $day2 ) - strtotime( $day1 ) ) / 60 / 60;
$total_time = $diff_min;
You can try this one.
// Create two new DateTime-objects...
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2006-04-14T11:30:00');
// The diff-method returns difference in days...
$diffInDays = $date2->diffInDays($date1);
// The diff-method returns difference in hours...
$diffInHours = $date2->diffInHours($date1);
// The diff-method returns difference in mintes...
$diffInMinutes = $date2->diffInMinutes($date1);
The second part of the answer from #fidi doesn't factor in months/years.
$date1 = new DateTime('2006-04-12T12:30:00');
$date2 = new DateTime('2010-04-14T11:30:00');
$diff = $date2->diff($date1);
$hours = $diff->h;
$days = intval($diff->format('%a'));
$hours = $hours + ($days*24);
echo $hours;
This is working in my project. I think, This will be helpful for you.
If Date is in past then invert will 1.
If Date is in future then invert will 0.
$defaultDate = date('Y-m-d');
$datetime1 = new DateTime('2013-03-10');
$datetime2 = new DateTime($defaultDate);
$interval = $datetime1->diff($datetime2);
$days = $interval->format('%a');
$invert = $interval->invert;
To pass a unix timestamp use this notation
$now = time();
$now = new DateTime("#$now");
How can I find first day of the next month and the remaining days till this day from the present day?
Thank you
Create a timestamp for 00:00 on the first day of next month:
$firstDayNextMonth = strtotime('first day of next month');
The number of days til that date is the number of seconds between now and then divided by (24 * 60 * 60).
$daysTilNextMonth = ($firstDayNextMonth - time()) / (24 * 3600);
$firstDayNextMonth = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first day of next month'));
For getting first day after two months from current
$firstDayAfterTwoMonths = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first day of +2 month'));
You can use DateTime object like this to find out the first day of next month like this:
$date = new DateTime('first day of next month');
You can do this to know how many days left from now to the first day of next month:
$date = new DateTime('now');
$nowTimestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
$date->modify('first day of next month');
$firstDayOfNextMonthTimestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
echo ($firstDayOfNextMonthTimestamp - $nowTimestamp) / 86400;
The easiest and quickest way is to use strtotime() which recognizes 'first day next month';
$firstDayNextMonth = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('first day next month'));
Since I googled this and came to this answer, I figured I'd include a more modern answer that works for PHP 5.3.0+.
//Your starting date as DateTime
$currentDate = new DateTime(date('Y-m-d'));
//Add 1 month
$currentDate->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));
//Get the first day of the next month as string
$firstDayOfNextMonth = $currentDate->format('Y-m-1');
You can get the first of the next month with this:
$now = getdate();
$nextmonth = ($now['mon'] + 1) % 13 + 1;
$year = $now['year'];
if($nextmonth == 1)
$year++;
$thefirst = gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $nextmonth, $year);
With this example, $thefirst will be the UNIX timestamp for the first of the next month. Use date to format it to your liking.
This will give you the remaining days in the month:
$now = getdate();
$months = array(
31,
28 + ($now['year'] % 4 == 0 ? 1 : 0), // Support for leap years!
31,
30,
31,
30,
31,
31,
30,
31,
30,
31
);
$days = $months[$now['mon'] - 1];
$daysleft = $days - $now['mday'];
The number of days left will be stored in $daysleft.
Hope this helps!
$firstDayNextMonth = date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m')+1, 1, date('Y')));
As another poster has mentioned the DateInterval object does not give accurate results for the next month when you use dates such as 1/31/2016 or 8/31/2016 as it skips the next month. My solution was to still use the DateInterval object but reformat your current date to be the first day of the current month prior to utilizing the DateInterval.
$currentDate = '8/31/2016';
$date = new DateTime(date("n", strtotime($currentDate))."/1/".date("Y", strtotime($currentDate)));
//add 1 month
$date->add(new DateInterval('P1M'));
$currentDate=$date->format('m/1/Y');
echo($currentDate);
easiest way to get the last day of the month
date('Y-m-d', mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m')+1, 1, date('Y')));
I took mattbasta's approach because it's able to get the 'first day of next month' with a given date, but there is a tiny problem in calculating the $nextmonth. The fix is as below:
$now = getdate();
$nextmonth = ($now['mon'] + 1) % 13 + 1;
$year = $now['year'];
if($nextmonth == 1)
$year++;
else
$nextmonth--;
$thefirst = gmmktime(0, 0, 0, $nextmonth, $year);
I initially thought about using a DateInterval object (as discussed above in another answer) but it is not reliable. For example, if the current DateTime is 31 January and then we add on a month (to get the next month) then it will skip February completely!
Here is my solution:
function start_of_next_month(DateTime $datetime)
{
$year = (int) $datetime->format('Y');
$month = (int) $datetime->format('n');
$month += 1;
if ($month === 13)
{
$month = 1;
$year += 1;
}
return new DateTime($year . '-' . $month . '-01');
}
Even easier way to get first and last day of next month
$first = strttotime("first day of next month");
$last = strttotime("last day of next month");
You could do something like this. To have this functionality, you need to make use of a php library available in https://packagist.org/packages/ishworkh/navigable-date.
With that is really easy to do what you're asking for here.
For e.g:
$format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s';
$Date = \NavigableDate\NavigableDateFacade::create('2017-02-24');
var_dump($Date->format($format));
$resetTime = true;
$resetDays = true;
$NextMonth = $Date->nextMonth($resetTime, $resetDays);
var_dump($NextMonth->format($format));
$DayUntilFirstOfNextMonth = $NextMonth->getDifference($Date);
var_dump('Days left:' . $DayUntilFirstOfNextMonth->format('%d'));
gives you ouput:
string(19) "2017-02-24 00:00:00"
string(19) "2017-03-01 00:00:00"
string(11) "Days left:5"
Note: Additionally this library let you navigate through dates by day(s), week(s), year(s) forward or backward. For more information look into its README.
(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
To get the first day of next month a clean solution:
<?php
$date = new DateTimeInmutable('now');
$date->modify('first day of next month');//here the magic occurs
echo $date->format('Y-m-d') . '\n';
Since you just want to calculate it I suggest using DateTimeInmutable class.
using the class DateTime and $date->modify('first day of next month'); will modify your original date value.
$month = date('m')+1;
if ($month<10) {
$month = '0'.$month;
}
echo date('Y-').$month.'-01';
Simplest way to achieve this. You can echo or store into variable.
I came up with this for my needs:
if(date('m') == 12) { $next_month = 1; } else { $next_month = date('m')+1; }
if($next_month == 1) { $year_start = date('Y')+1; } else { $year_start = date('Y'); }
$date_start_of_next_month = $year_start . '-' . $next_month . '-01 00:00:00';
if($next_month == 12) { $month_after = 1; } else { $month_after = $next_month+1; }
if($month_after == 1) { $year_end = date('Y')+1; } else { $year_end = date('Y'); }
$date_start_of_month_after_next = $year_end . '-' . $month_after . '-01 00:00:00';
Please note that instead of getting $date_end_of_next_month I chose to go with a $date_start_of_month_after_next date, it avoids the hassles with leap years and months containing different number of days.
You can simply use the >= comparaision sign for $date_start_of_next_month and the < one for $date_start_of_month_after_next.
If you prefer a timestamp format for the date, from there you will want to apply the strtotime() native function of PHP on these two variables.
You can use the php date method to find the current month and date, and then you would need to have a short list to find how many days in that month and subtract (leap year would require extra work).
