I want to store the expiration time in database. I am using the below code to store expiration time with +1 year.
$cdate = time();
$date = $cdate + 365*24*60*60;
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",$date);
but its not storing the correct time it stores 2014-08-10 07:55:14 but time on storing is 2014-08-10 01:25:14.
Aslo not sure its Am or Pm .
Thanks.
Time/date functions in PHP are using timezones to determine your local time. So if your server is in timezone GMT+6 that means that the date() function will return you the date/time that is 6 hours before GMT.
You can check the date_default_timezone_set() function manual to find out how PHP is selecting your timezone.
To set your timezone, you can use date_default_timezone_set() before calling date function or you can set you php.ini setting date.timezone to your timezone.
For the second part of your question - when formatting time using the date() function the H format character will return 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros.
try this
<?php
$timezone1 = "America/Los_Angeles";
date_default_timezone_set($timezone1);
$cdate = time();
$date1 = $cdate + 365*24*60*60;
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s a",$date1);
echo $date;
$timezone = "Asia/Calcutta";
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$cdate = time();
$date1 = $cdate + 365*24*60*60;
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s a",$date1);
echo $date;
?>
you can set timezone for your location.And also refer this codepad-FIDDLE
As others have mentioned, it is calculating the time based on your server (local) time.
I suggest you store the time in GMT and then adjust it to your desired timezone as necessary.
You can use strtotime() to calculate 1 year from now (no need to calculate it yourself) and use gmdate() to get the timestamp in GMT.
echo "Next Year in local time: ". date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime("+1 year")) ."\n";
echo "Next year in GMT: " . gmdate ("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime ("+1 year")) . "\n";
// Output:
// Next Year in local time: 2014-08-10 15:25:09
// Next year in GMT: 2014-08-10 08:25:09

I am trying to add minutes to current date but it returns strange results
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Karachi');
$currentDate = date("m-d-Y H:i:s");
$currentDate_timestamp = strtotime($currentDate);
$endDate_months = strtotime("+10 minutes", $currentDate_timestamp);
$packageEndDate = date("m-d-Y H:i:s", $endDate_months);
echo " <br> " . $packageEndDate . " <br> ";
echo $currentDate;
I am getting Output
01-01-1970 05:50:00
07-19-2013 20:25:23
It should return
07-19-2013 20:35:23
07-19-2013 20:25:23
After this I need to query to database so date format should be same. Database column is of string type.
Your code is redundant. Why format a timestamp as a string, then convert that string back to a timestamp?
Try
$now = time();
$ten_minutes = $now + (10 * 60);
$startDate = date('m-d-Y H:i:s', $now);
$endDate = date('m-d-Y H:i:s', $ten_minutes);
instead.
Probably the minimalist way would be:
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Baku');
$packageEndDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+10 minute'));
echo $packageEndDate;
Output (Current time in my city at the time of writing):
2017-07-20 12:45:17
Try this:
$now = time();
$tenMinFromNow = date("m-d-Y H:i:s", strtotime('+10 minutes', $time));
$tenMinsFromNow = (new \DateTime())->add(new \DateInterval('PT10M'));
Will leave you with a DateTime object representing a time 10 minutes in the future. Which will allow you to do something like:-
echo $tenMinsFromNow->format('d/m/Y H:i:s');
See it working
PHP version >= 5.4 I'm afraid, but you should be using at least that version by now anyway.
Pakistan, which is the localisation explicitly set, uses "DD-MM-YYYY" format dates so the problem occurs when you cast the date into a string of "MM-DD-YYYY". This American format of date is not parseable by the Pakistan localisation.
If you still want to keep the round-trip to a string and back, use DD-MM-YYYY or the ISO datetime format.
While this is the only (current) answer which actually explains your original issue, I recommend the code be refactored as others have demonstrated.
i found many articals on this but none of give proper soluation
my current system timezone is = 'asia/Kolkata'
my current magento timezone is 'asia/shanghai'
this give me de correct UTC time here system time is '2013-06-26 15:34:00'
$timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$now = Mage::getModel('core/date')->timestamp(time());
$current_date= date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
so here $current_date = '2013-06-26 18:04:30'
but i have another mytimestamp..... ex :- $time = '2013-06-26 15:34:00';
$scheduletime = '2013-06-26 15:19:00';
$dateTimestamp = Mage::getModel('core/date')->timestamp(strtotime($scheduletime));
$schedule_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime($scheduletime));
so here $schedule_time = '2013-06-26 23:34:00'
so actually what i want is to get difference between this two time and it should be : 0
Try
Mage::getSingleton('core/date')->gmtDate();
Note: UTC and GMT are equal.
Use strtotime to generate a timestamp from the given string (interpreted as local time) and use gmdate to get it as a formatted UTC date back.
For example
As requested, here’s a simple example:
echo gmdate('d.m.Y H:i', strtotime('2012-06-28 23:55'));
or you can also use local setting with store like below
Mage::app()->getLocale()->storeDate(
$this->getStore(),
Varien_Date::toTimestamp($this->getCreatedAt()),
true
);
where $this->getCreatedAt() your Database date.
I need to convert the input hours(12 hour format) from source timezone to UTC.
Like if I give 10 AM, Asia/Kolkata, I need converted it to 3:30 PM as per the offset in UTC.
use gmdate() function to get your desired result
http://php.net/manual/en/function.gmdate.php
$the_date = strtotime("2010-01-19 00:00:00");
echo date_default_timezone_get();
echo date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz",$the_date);
echo date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
echo date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz", $the_date);
try this it works perfectly for me ..
$timezone = 'Asia/Kolkata';
echo $stored_time = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
date_default_timezone_set($timezone);
$timestamp = strtotime($stored_time);
$local_time = $timestamp + date('Z');
$local_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $local_time);
echo $local_date;
it is answered by me already for this question : PHP adjust time zone for date
There is a simple way to get unix time range of a day if given a random timestamp from that day ?
I have a date like 1345547471 which is "Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:11:11 GMT"
There is a php function that can receive a timestamp like this and return a 00:00 hours timestamp and a 23:59 hours timestamp of that day ?
Thank you.
Sure, DateTime can do that:
$time = 1345547471;
$date = new DateTime;
// $date->setTimezone( new DateTimeZone( "America/New_York")); // Can set TZ here if needed
$date->setTimestamp( $time);
Now, you can set the time to whatever you want:
$date->setTime( 0, 0, 0); // 0h 0m 0s
And grab the resulting UNIX Timestamp:
$timestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
Same thing for the next use-case:
$date->setTime( 23, 59, 0);
$timestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
It is important to note that DateTime will properly handle cases of daylight savings time and local time discontinuities.
You can use the mod (gives the remainder after a division) PHP function like this to get the first second of a Unix timestamp (ie, today 0:00:00)
$var=time()-(time()%86400);
Then with this unix timstamp, you can add 86399 to get the last second of the day.
Edit: This doesn't account for dalylight savings.
$ts = 1345547471;
$ts_00_00 = mktime(0,0,0, date("m", $ts), date("d",$ts), date("Y",$ts);
$ts_23_59 = mktime(23,59,59, date("m", $ts), date("d",$ts), date("Y",$ts);
Documentation:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
If you are using PHP >= 5.3.0 Then you can use this...
Check out for this.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.createfromformat.php
This is similar to Fluffeh's answer, but accounts for daylight savings time. This is based on the server's time zone.
//Get time range for today
$start = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")." 00:00:00");
$end = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")." 23:59:59");
//Show our date in a human-readable format for troubleshooting
echo date(DATE_RFC1036,$start)."<br>".date(DATE_RFC1036,$end);
If you want to specify a custom timezone instead of the server timezine, you can add it to like so:
//Get time range for today
$start = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")." 00:00:00 -0500");
$end = strtotime(date("Y-m-d")." 23:59:59 -0500");
//Show our date in a human-readable format for troubleshooting
echo date(DATE_RFC1036,$start)."<br>".date(DATE_RFC1036,$end);

I am in need of an easy way to convert a date time stamp to UTC (from whatever timezone the server is in) HOPEFULLY without using any libraries.
Use strtotime to generate a timestamp from the given string (interpreted as local time) and use gmdate to get it as a formatted UTC date back.
Example
As requested, here’s a simple example:
echo gmdate('d.m.Y H:i', strtotime('2012-06-28 23:55'));
Using DateTime:
$given = new DateTime("2014-12-12 14:18:00");
echo $given->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e") . "\n"; // 2014-12-12 14:18:00 Asia/Bangkok
$given->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
echo $given->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e") . "\n"; // 2014-12-12 07:18:00 UTC
Try the getTimezone and setTimezone, see the example
(But this does use a Class)
UPDATE:
Without any classes you could try something like this:
$the_date = strtotime("2010-01-19 00:00:00");
echo(date_default_timezone_get() . "<br />");
echo(date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz",$the_date) . "<br />");
echo(date_default_timezone_set("UTC") . "<br />");
echo(date("Y-d-mTG:i:sz", $the_date) . "<br />");
NOTE: You might need to set the timezone back to the original as well
Do this way:
gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $timestamp)
or simply
gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s')
to get "NOW" in UTC.
Check the reference:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gmdate.php
If you have a date in this format YYYY-MM-HH dd:mm:ss,
you can actually trick php by adding a UTC at the end of your "datetime string" and use strtotime to convert it.
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Stockholm');
print date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("2009-01-01 12:00"." UTC"))."\n";
print date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("2009-06-01 12:00"." UTC"))."\n";
This will print this:
2009-01-01 13:00:00
2009-06-01 14:00:00
And as you can see it takes care of the daylight savings time problem as well.
A little strange way to solve it.... :)
Convert local time zone string to UTC string.
e.g. New Zealand Time Zone
$datetime = "2016-02-01 00:00:01";
$given = new DateTime($datetime, new DateTimeZone("Pacific/Auckland"));
$given->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone("UTC"));
$output = $given->format("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo ($output);
NZDT: UTC+13:00
if $datetime = "2016-02-01 00:00:01", $output = "2016-01-31 11:00:01";
if $datetime = "2016-02-29 23:59:59", $output = "2016-02-29 10:59:59";
NZST: UTC+12:00
if $datetime = "2016-05-01 00:00:01", $output = "2016-04-30 12:00:01";
if $datetime = "2016-05-31 23:59:59", $output = "2016-05-31 11:59:59";

If you don't mind using PHP's DateTime class, which has been available since PHP 5.2.0, then there are several scenarios that might fit your situation:
If you have a $givenDt DateTime object that you want to convert to UTC then this will convert it to UTC:
$givenDt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
If you need the original $givenDt later, you might alternatively want to clone the given DateTime object before conversion of the cloned object:
$utcDt = clone $givenDt;
$utcDt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
If you only have a datetime string, e.g. $givenStr = '2018-12-17 10:47:12', then you first create a datetime object, and then convert it. Note this assumes that $givenStr is in PHP's configured timezone.
$utcDt = (new DateTime($givenStr))->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
If the given datetime string is in some timezone different from the one in your PHP configuration, then create the datetime object by supplying the correct timezone (see the list of timezones PHP supports). In this example we assume the local timezone in Amsterdam:
$givenDt = new DateTime($givenStr, new DateTimeZone('Europe/Amsterdam'));
$givenDt->setTimezone(new DateTimeZone('UTC'));
As strtotime requires specific input format, DateTime::createFromFormat could be used (php 5.3+ is required)
// set timezone to user timezone
date_default_timezone_set($str_user_timezone);
// create date object using any given format
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat($str_user_dateformat, $str_user_datetime);
// convert given datetime to safe format for strtotime
$str_user_datetime = $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// convert to UTC
$str_UTC_datetime = gmdate($str_server_dateformat, strtotime($str_user_datetime));
// return timezone to server default
date_default_timezone_set($str_server_timezone);
I sometime use this method:
// It is not importnat what timezone your system is set to.
// Get the UTC offset in seconds:
$offset = date("Z");
// Then subtract if from your original timestamp:
$utc_time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($original_time." -".$offset." Seconds"));
Works all MOST of the time.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.strtotime.php or if you need to not use a string but time components instead, then http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php
With PHP 5 or superior, you may use datetime::format function (see documentation http://us.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php)
echo strftime( '%e %B %Y' ,
date_create_from_format('Y-d-m G:i:s', '2012-04-05 11:55:21')->format('U')
); // 4 May 2012
try
echo date('F d Y', strtotime('2010-01-19 00:00:00'));
will output:
January 19 2010
you should change format time to see other output
General purpose normalisation function to format any timestamp from any timezone to other.
Very useful for storing datetimestamps of users from different timezones in a relational database. For database comparisons store timestamp as UTC and use with gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s')
/**
* Convert Datetime from any given olsonzone to other.
* #return datetime in user specified format
*/
function datetimeconv($datetime, $from, $to)
{
try {
if ($from['localeFormat'] != 'Y-m-d H:i:s') {
$datetime = DateTime::createFromFormat($from['localeFormat'], $datetime)->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
}
$datetime = new DateTime($datetime, new DateTimeZone($from['olsonZone']));
$datetime->setTimeZone(new DateTimeZone($to['olsonZone']));
return $datetime->format($to['localeFormat']);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
return null;
}
}
Usage:
$from = ['localeFormat' => "d/m/Y H:i A", 'olsonZone' => 'Asia/Calcutta'];
$to = ['localeFormat' => "Y-m-d H:i:s", 'olsonZone' => 'UTC'];
datetimeconv("14/05/1986 10:45 PM", $from, $to); // returns "1986-05-14 17:15:00"
As an improvement on Phill Pafford's answer (I did not understand his 'Y-d-mTG:i:sz' and he suggested to revert timezone).
So I propose this (I complicated by changing the HMTL format in plain/text...):
<?php
header('content-type: text/plain;');
$my_timestamp = strtotime("2010-01-19 00:00:00");
// stores timezone
$my_timezone = date_default_timezone_get();
echo date(DATE_ATOM, $my_timestamp)."\t ($my_timezone date)\n";
// changes timezone
date_default_timezone_set("UTC");
echo date("Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z", $my_timestamp)."\t\t (ISO8601 UTC date)\n";
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $my_timestamp)."\t\t (your UTC date)\n";
// reverts change
date_default_timezone_set($my_timezone);
echo date(DATE_ATOM, $my_timestamp)."\t ($my_timezone date is back)\n";
?>
alternatively you can try this:
<?php echo (new DateTime("now", new DateTimeZone('Asia/Singapore')))->format("Y-m-d H:i:s e"); ?>
this will output :
2017-10-25 17:13:20 Asia/Singapore
you can use this inside the value attribute of a text input box if you only want to display a read-only date.
remove the 'e' if you do not wish to show your region/country.
Follow these steps to get UTC time of any timezone set in user's local system (This will be required for web applications to save different timezones to UTC):
Javascript (client-side):
var dateVar = new Date();
var offset = dateVar.getTimezoneOffset();
//getTimezoneOffset - returns the timezone difference between UTC and Local Time
document.cookie = "offset="+offset;
Php (server-side):
public function convert_utc_time($date)
{
$time_difference = isset($_COOKIE['offset'])?$_COOKIE['offset']:'';
if($time_difference != ''){
$time = strtotime($date);
$time = $time + ($time_difference*60); //minutes * 60 seconds
$date = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", $time);
} //on failure of js, default timezone is set as UTC below
return $date;
}
..
..
//in my function
$timezone = 'UTC';
$date = $this->convert_utc_time($post_date); //$post_date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
echo strtotime($date. ' '. $timezone)
