Hello there,
I Use timestamps for logging etc..
so you do something like this no?:
$stamp = mktime();
so if you want to use DateTime why not do this?:
$stamp = new DateTime;
alternatively if you are stuck with the original integer timestamp,
then you can get round the issue like so:
$stamp = mktime();
$date = getdate($stamp);
$obj = new DateTime;
$obj->setDate($date['year'], $date['mon'], $date['mday']);
$obj->setTime($date['hours'], $date['minutes'], $date['seconds']);
$obj->setTimezone('er?');
or something like that.
seems rather stupid that DateTime doesn't accept a timestamp, but there is
probably a good reason ... as Richard Lynch pointed out date/time stuff seems
easy but is actually very very hard (and something computers will probably
never get 'right')
anyway, everything you need is right here if care to read it:
http://php.net/manual/en/ref.datetime.php
But i need this timestamp to let is show the right time in different
timezones.
Now i wanted to use DateTime object, but it seems it needs a string as
reference, so i can't use a timestamp to re-generate that time.
How can i fix this?
Thx in advance.
Thx for that idea.
I Now created an class/object which extends from DateTime.
Hope this can help other ppl with the same prob as well.
Thx.
Mathijs.
class DateTimeHandler extends DateTime {
public final function __construct($time=null, DateTimeZone $object=null) {
if (is_numeric($time)) {
parent::__construct();
$datetime = getdate($time);
parent::setDate($datetime['year'], $datetime['mon'], $datetime['mday']);
parent::setTime($datetime['hours'], $datetime['minutes'],
$datetime['seconds']);
parent::setTimezone($object);
return $this;
} else {
if ($object) {
return parent::__construct($time, $object);
} else {
return parent::__construct();
}
}
}
}
