Most efficient way of playing with dates?
So I've got this unix timestamp from the past which I needed to convert into a date:
PHP Code:
$firstDate = date('Y-m-d H:i', 1195958278);
Next I added 90 days:
PHP Code:
$expiry = date('Y-m-d H:i', strtotime('+90 day', $firstDate));
This is because each pass is valid for 90 days after the first date. I then proceed by figuring out how many days are left for the pass to expire:
PHP Code:
$daysLeft = 365 - (date('z', strtotime(date('Y-m-d H:i'))) - date('z', strtotime($expiryDate)));
I've tested it with a bit of data and it seems to work.
Does anyone see something totally wrong? Or maybe an easier alternative?
Thank you. |
