PHP Date problems :(

Odd.. are you able to use the date() function outside your PHP class, but in a regular php document on your server?

I can use the class and call the function using solely php and it works as it should, its when I try using it through the framework that it breaks

Will try and make a zip in a bit..

hi MSFX , i am haveing the same odd problem over here. have you solved yours? cheer, elbjoern

may be your pc does not allow php to gather your system time and date… i am not sure if there is such a feature but in case vista has some really annoying restrictions that could be the problem…

i found a solution. instead of date i use zend_date.

require_once 'Zend/Date.php';
$datetime = Zend_Date::now()->toString('YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss');

that’s all. cheers, elbjoern

PDesign, using XP

do it!

I created an account just to post this, since I’ve just spent about four hours on this issue. Hope someone reads it! Zend_Date is great, but it requires a bunch of crap to get it to work the same way as php’s date(). Also, while date() allows you to escape characters in your format string (if, for example, you wanted to literally output ‘GMT’ in your string) Zend_Date does not support this, even if you set its format strings to behave like php formats with Zend_Date::setOptions(array(‘format_type’ => ‘php’)).

To get php’s date() method up and running, just make sure you have a default timezone set! you can do this with the date_default_timezone_set() method, or by setting it in your ini file.
