In my PHP script I get a date string from my iOS app, as such:
$myTime = $app->request()->post('myTime'); // 2016-08-15 20-02
$date = date('Y-m-d H-i', strtotime($myTime));
Now that I have the date from my iOS app, I want to do a check on my database for a booking/reservation, and check if the date from my iOS app falls between a period +/- 10 hours of the date from database:
// $book['book_datetime'] is confirmed 2016-08-15 20:38:00
$plusTen = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($book['book_datetime'])+36000);
$minusTen = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($book['book_datetime'])-36000);
if((strtotime($date) > strtotime($minusTen)) && (strtotime($date) < strtotime($plusTen))) {
//should be true
} else {
}
The if statement should be true, however it's not working. Can anyone tell me why?
Your
$date = date('Y-m-d H-i', strtotime($myTime));
wont work as you have a non standard time format.
Instead use the DateTime class like this to get a timestamp from your odd date time format.
$myTime = $app->request()->post('myTime'); // 2016-08-15 20-02
$mydt = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H-i', $myTime);
$date = $mydt->getTimestamp();
Re you comment:
I ran this code from the CLI and it works
<?php
$myTime = '2016-08-15 20-02';
$mydt = DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H-i', $myTime);
echo $mydt->getTimestamp() . PHP_EOL;
echo $mydt->format('Y-m-d H:i:s') . PHP_EOL;
If you get an error then maybe you datetime value from $app->request()->post('myTime');
is not in the format you think
