Oh,.. no it works just fine.
I wrote Saturday myself not looking to see if it was actually the 1st.
My fault for a non-existent date.
Thanks for your help though, looks like that did the trick.
On another note, just curious why I keep getting your responses, but
don't get the emails that I post.
Anyone else having trouble with the list like that?
Best,
Karl

Thanks Jim,
To tell you the truth, this was handed off to me.
Thank you for the response. I knew this was just bloated code.
Thanks for verifying that for me. :)
Just one question, why does it echo the 7th and not the 1st?
I see that... Figuring their is a logical reason...
Ah!
The first Saturday in the month of January this year WAS the 7th.
The 1st was on a Sunday. I would say that your date picker has
issues.
Should be
20120101T162000Z
not
20120107T162000Z

Hello everyone,
Got a quick one (I hope), and probably an easy one.
For some reason it is eluding me at the moment.
Hoping someone can help.
I am building an ics file with PHP and the form that is
submitting to
create this ics file has a jQuery date picker on it.
The date furnished comes to me like this "Saturday, January 1,
2012",
and a time furnished like "4:20 pm" with no seconds.
Now for the ics file, I need the date/time combo to be..
Ymd\THis\Z or in the case of the above date and time,
20120101T042000Z
Here is the block of code that I am using for this.
Why do you have so much code to do such a simple thing?
This works for me.
<?php
$date = "Saturday, January 1, 2012";
$time = "4:20 pm";
echo date('Ymd\THis\Z', strtotime($date.' '.$time));
// Outputs 20120107T162000Z
?>
Check it out in action:

}

enddate is
1 hour after startdate.
} else {

$end_date_fmt = new DateTime($end_DT->format("l, F d, Y\TH:ia T"));

exit(1);
}
$stampnow = date('Ymd\THis\Z', time());
//$datestampnow = strtotime($stampnow);
}
...
]
I have a feeling I am mixing something up on my own, but I have
been
staring at this code to long to see it.
Can anyone help me please? Like I said, this is probably an easy
one.
TIA!!
