strftime 给我返回空字符串

Question

I have a really simple error and I don't get why stftime PHP function returns me an empty string while all seems right with the syntax and code.

I got the following code:

$next_high_tide_date = strtotime($next_high_tide_date);
// FROM '2021-05-22 00:26:00' TO (timestamp) 1621635960
$next_high_tide_date_day = strtoupper(strftime('%A %d %B', $next_high_tide_date));
// THIS RETURNS ME THE RIGHT DAY DATE
$next_high_tide_date_hour = strtoupper(strftime('%k H %M', $next_high_tide_date));
// THIS RETURNS ME AN EMPTY STRING

My $next_hight_tide_date value after the first declaration is equal to 1621643160 (timestamp). I checked on a strftime checker online and my code is right, but in my php page, still returns me a empty string.

Anyone has an idea?

Answer 1

Maybe you should use the date() function to format your timestamp.

$next_high_tide_date = "2021-05-22 00:26:00";
$next_high_tide_date = strtotime($next_high_tide_date);
$next_high_tide_date_day = strtoupper(date('l d F', $next_high_tide_date));
$next_high_tide_date_hour = strtoupper(date('H \H i', $next_high_tide_date));

try this

or use %H instead of %k

$next_high_tide_date = "2021-05-22 00:26:00";
$next_high_tide_date = strtotime($next_high_tide_date);
$next_high_tide_date_day = strtoupper(strftime('%A %d %B',$next_high_tide_date));
$next_high_tide_date_hour = strtoupper(strftime('%H H %M',$next_high_tide_date));
