Going mad!

currentdate() will return seconds since 01.01.1970, with this date you can customize a date easily:


currentdate()|datetime('custom',"%H:%G:%s %m/%d/%Y")

this will resturn for 1094750495 seconds -> 19:21:35 09/09/2004, up to current second.

How can I obtain the seconds to a certain date, lets say 01.07.1980 at
00:00? Is it possible?

This task is quite easy in PHP...

TIA

Can you feel it Mr. Anderson? Closing in on you? Oh I can, I really should thank you after all. It was, after all, it was your life that taught me the purpose of all life. Purpose of life is to end.

Hi

There are (undocumented until now) date and time operators. Like maketime and makedate and gettime :-)

<b>gettime(<timestamp>)</b> returns an associative array with the current elements for the timestamp provided:
'seconds'
'minutes'
'hours'
'day'
'month'
'year'
'weekday'
'yearday'
'epoch'
<b>maketime(<hour>,<minute>,<second>,<month>,<day>,<year>,<dst>)</b>
returns a timestamp
<b>makedate(<month>,<day>,<year>,<dst>)</b>
returns also a timestamp with the hour, minute ans seconds set to 0

For completeness of the above:

gettime also operates on an input value if provided (when both are present, it will be the input value too):

{let mydatearr=currentdate|timestamp}

{/let}

Thanks for the info Paul,

I will try your code right now... this functions don't even appear in your book :) I always look there before posting and search the forum as well...

Regarding cross post: sorry, wont happen again, after posting I found my query more suitable for General than to Setup&Design forum, unfortunateley I don't know how to move or delete my own posts, is there such feature?

Thanks again.

maketime(<hour>,<minute>,<second>,<month>,<day>,<year>,<dst>)

This function will do the task perfectly!
