PHP Problem with date and mktime -- almost got it

I am still looking and have found alot about it.
I know my mktime was malformed, but I am not sure what changed from one server to another. Not sure if it was the php version or perhaps the clock or something.
it did do:
date("h:i A", mktime($rs['EventBeginTime']{8} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{9}, $rs['EventBeginTime']{10} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{11}))
I got it working doing:
$hour = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 11, 2);
$minute = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 14, 2);
$second = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 17, 2);
$month = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 5, 2);
$day = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 8, 2);
$year = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 0, 4);
$StartTime = $rs['EventBeginTime'];
$fstrtim = date("h:i A",mktime ($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year));
I can now call $fstrtim and it works, but I would like to know what changed. I wonder if it is something simple becuase I do not want to have to change the code on every page.

What does EventBeginTime contain? Is this a date that you parsing by hand?
Does your date follow a format that can't be parsed by strptime?
I know it's not specifically an answer to your question, but it just seems like this could be the origin of your problem.

I know i changed servers and upgraded php, but not sure how the time changed. Here is somehting that will answer those questions.$hour = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 11, 2);
$minute = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 14, 2);
$second = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 17, 2);
$month = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 5, 2);
$day = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 8, 2);
$year = substr($rs['EventBeginTime'], 0, 4);
$fstrtim = date("h:i A",mktime ($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year));
$EventBeginTime = $rs['EventBeginTime'];
$Orig = date("h:i A", mktime($rs['EventBeginTime']{8} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{9}, $rs['EventBeginTime']{10} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{11}));
echo "<br><br> <b>fstrtim output:</b> ";
echo $fstrtim;
echo "<br><br> <b>EventBeginTime output:</b> ";
echo $EventBeginTime;
echo "<br><br> <b>Orig output:</b> ";
echo $Orig;
output i got:
fstrtim output: 02:00 AM
EventBeginTime output: 2008-12-04 02:00:00
Orig output: 04:00 AM

It would probably help to know what you are trying to achieve?
Anyways, I'd start with parsing the time with a time function, not a string function.
PHP Code:



list($second, $minute, $hour, $day, $month, $year) = strptime($EventBeginTime, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S');

This code used to work, but switched servers and it has php5 and now it does not. Gotta be a configuration setting or somehting.

$fstrtim = date("h:i A",mktime ($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year));
that works great
but why does
date("h:i A", mktime($rs['EventBeginTime']{8} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{9}, $rs['EventBeginTime']{10} . $rs['EventBeginTime']{11}));
not?

I just switched it all over to my updated style - must be a change in mktime

This is easier to do (no need to use substr or explodes):
Code:
$date = '2008-12-04 02:00:00';
echo date("h:i A", strtotime($date));
Peace,
