mktime + php5

Involved Joined: Apr 06, 2008 Posts: 484

Im working on a module and i keep getting the following php notice.

Code:




Warning: mktime() expects parameter 6 to be long


Notice: Undefined index: 1


Notice: Undefined index: 2

the code is as follows

Code:




$time = strftime("%F", mktime($time[4], $time[5], $time[6], $time[2],$ time[3], $time[1]));





   $date_array = explode("-", $time); 


   





   $timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date_array["1"], $date_array["2"], $date_array["0"]); 





     $formatted_date = date("F j, Y", $timestamp);

so i thought i would check that date_array exists before proceeding

Code:




$time = strftime("%F", mktime($time[4], $time[5], $time[6], $time[2],$ time[3], $time[1]));


      


       


   $date_array = explode("-", $time); 


      


   if (!empty($date_array)) {


   $timestamp = mktime(0, 0, 0, $date_array["1"], $date_array["2"], $date_array["0"]); 


       }





     $formatted_date = date("F j, Y", $timestamp);

but the warning still exists, i have a feeling its php5 related as i dont remember ever having this issue before.

Anyone got any ideas on this.

I'm unable to test this because that code is referencing a $time array but you have not included the code that creates the $time array. Please supply all the needed code.

But, in general, the error seems to be saying that $time[1] is not in a format the strftime() is expecting.

argh ok forgot about that lol its pulling from the database

Code:




while(list($rating, $timestamp) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {





       $comments = stripslashes($comments);





       ereg ("([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2}) ([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2}):([0-9]{1,2})", $timestamp, $time);

Unfortunately that still won't help. It's the data that's the issue. The function is receiving unexpected "type" data. An example would be expecting a date and receiving a string. Try listing out all the timestamps and you will probably see the invaid value somewhere.

well using var dump on $time before this code

Code:




$time= strftime("%F",mktime($time[4],$time[5],$time[6],$time[2],$time[3],$time[1]));

i get

Code:




string(4) "2008"





string(2) "08"





string(2) "01"





string(2) "08"





string(2) "27"





string(2) "03"

if i run var dump after the first piece of code i get

Code:




NULL





NULL





NULL





NULL





NULL





NULL

so it wouls seem this is the problem

Code:




$time= strftime("%F",mktime($time[4],$time[5],$time[6],$time[2],$time[3],$time[1]));

can anyone see anything wrong with it

As I said, the function is receiving unexpected "type" data

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mktime.php

Your $time array is invalid.

sorry ive always had trouble with mktime Sad

before it goes through this

Code:




$time= strftime("%F",mktime($time[4],$time[5],$time[6],$time[2],$time[3],$time[1]));

its fine but after it outputs.

Code:




bool(false)

im still thinking this is php5 related.

What are the values for each of these? They have to form a valid time stamp.

$time[4]
$time[5]
$time[6]
$time[2]
$time[3]
$time[1]

in the same order as you suggested

Code:




string(2) "08"





string(2) "27"





string(2) "03"





string(2) "08"





string(2) "01"





string(4) "2008"

Google for Warning: mktime() expects parameter 6 to be long and read the issues. It could just be you're using a buggy PHP5 release.
