| php] Create time stamp
Hey Guys
I have broken my time down (badly) into
$year,$month,$day,$hour,$minute,$second and I'm wondering how I can create a timestamp from this?
Can anyone suggestion how I could do this?

| You can use mktime...
PHP Code:
mktime ( [int $hour [, int $minute [, int $second [, int $month [, int $day [, int $year [, int $is_dst]]]]]]] )
Basically if you have broken your time down to each of those variables you can do this:
PHP Code:
$timestamp = mktime($hour,$minute,$second,$month,$day,$year);
Hope that helps.

| There are a lot of ways to format dates and times with php. Do you have any preferences/ requirements on how it should look?

I'm moving some of my data into phpBB and my time uses year/month/day/hour/minute/second so ive broken it into the individual variables and it can now be recontructed into phpbbs format.
csparks, I just tried your second suggestion and it works perfectly fine. Does exactly what I'm trying to do. Thanks.

Well it's only 1 suggestion ! The first "suggestion" is an explanation of the function.
