PHP/MySQL Date and Time Notes

I’ve always sucked at date/time calculations using PHP or MySQL. This changed a while ago when I broke the ice with a Facebook-style function for calculating time diferrence in a friendly way. Today, I had to calculate past dates using 2 separate date and time columns. MySQL uses NOW() to output a date format such as "2011-03-10 14:30:00". My date...

Recently I had to use PHP to display a score value such as “3″ padded as “03″. There’s a tiny PHP function that does just this. $myvalue = '3'; str_pad((int) $myvalue,2,'0',STR_PAD_LEFT) While working with strings, such as $myvalue, I had to convert it to integer using the (int) operator so I can make further calculations with my initial value. The...

1. Use a redirect function in PHP without header/location stuff: function redirect($page,$time) { echo '<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="'.$time.'; url='.$page.'" />'; } Now use: redirect('/tag/php/index.html',3); in order to redirect to index.php after 3 seconds. 2. Generate 3 characters salt strings: // Salt Generator function generate_salt() { // Declare $salt $salt = ''; // And create it with random chars for ($i =...
