Practical Date/Time examples with PHP and MySQL (
Page 1 of 5 )
In this article Mauricio shows us some examples of how to use the date/time features
with MySQL and PHP including the UNIX timestamp and the PHP date_diff() function.Some time ago working with dates and times was a pain for me. In several of my
projects I had to calculate a person's age based on their birth date. I created
a members area that allowed the administrators to set the maximum amount of time
users can have a password before they must change it and remind each one how many
days left before the change. I also had to create time-bomb accounts that worked
for several days after its creation and then became useless.
Digging into the PHP and MySQL documentation I found and then worked with several
functions that made my life easier. Now I want to share some code tips that allow
better manipulation of the time and date in your projects and everyday needs.
