date_timezone_set
I have written a little Date Class Library for PHP that supports timestamps for dates greater than 2038 and lesser than 1970.
This library can be used in both PHP4 and PHP5.
Check it out here:

date
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
date — Dar formato a una hora/fecha local
Descripción
string date
( string $formato
[, int $marca_de_tiempo
] )
Devuelve una cadena con formato de acuerdo a la cadena de formato dada usando el entero marca_de_tiempo entregado o la hora actual si no se da una marca de tiempo. En otras palabras, marca_de_tiempo es opcional y su valor predeterminado es el valor de time().
Lista de parámetros
- formato
-
El formato de la fecha de salida tipo string. Vea las opciones de formato más adelante.
Los siguientes caracteres son reconocidos en la cadena del parámetro formato Caracter de formato Descripción Valores de ejemplo devueltos Día --- --- d Día del mes, 2 dígitos con ceros iniciales 01 a 31 D Una representación textual de un día, tres letras Mon a Sun j Día del mes sin ceros iniciales 1 a 31 l ('L' minúscula) Una representación textual completa del día de la semana Sunday a Saturday N Representación numérica ISO-8601 del día de la semana (agregado in PHP 5.1.0) 1 (para Lunes) a 7 (para Domingo) S Sufijo ordinal en inglés del dia del mes, 2 caracteres st, nd, rd o th. Funciona bien con j w Representación numérica del día de la semana 0 (para el Domingo) a 6 (para el Sábado) z El día del año (comenzando en 0) 0 a 365 Semana --- --- W Número de la semana del año ISO-8601, las semanas comienzan en Lunes (agregado en PHP 4.1.0) Ejemplo: 42 (la 42va semana del año) Mes --- --- F Una representación textual completa de un mes, como January o March January a December m Representación numérica de un mes, con ceros iniciales 01 a 12 M Una representación textual corta de un mes, tres letras Jan a Dec n Representación numérica de un mes, sin ceros iniciales 1 a 12 t Número de días en el mes dado 28 a 31 Año --- --- L Indica si es un año bisiesto 1 si es un año bisiesto, 0 de lo contrario. o Número de año ISO-8601. Este es el mismo valor que Y, excepto que si el número de semana ISO (W) pertenece al año previo o siguiente, ese año será usado en su lugar. (agregado en PHP 5.1.0) Ejemplos: 1999 o 2003 Y Una representación numérica completa de un año, 4 dígitos Ejemplos: 1999 o 2003 y Una representación de dos dígitos de un año Ejemplos: 99 o 03 Hora --- --- a Ante meridiano y Post meridiano en minúsculas am o pm A Ante meridiano y Post meridiano en mayúsculas AM o PM B Hora Swatch Internet 000 a 999 g formato de 12-horas de una hora sin ceros iniciales 1 a 12 G formato de 24-horas de una hora sin ceros iniciales 0 a 23 h formato de 12-horas de una hora con ceros iniciales 01 a 12 H formato de 24-horas de una hora con ceros iniciales 00 a 23 i Minutos con ceros iniciales 00 a 59 s Segundos, con ceros iniciales 00 a 59 u Milisegundos (agregado en PHP 5.2.2) Ejemplo: 54321 Zona horaria --- --- e Identificador de zona horaria (agregado en PHP 5.1.0) Ejemplos: UTC, GMT, Atlantic/Azores I (i mayúscula) Indica si la fecha están en hora de ahorro de luz diurna 1 si es Hora de Ahorro de Luz Diurna, 0 de lo contrario. O Diferencia con la hora Greenwich (GMT) en horas Ejemplo: +0200 P Diferencia con la hora Greenwich (GMT) con dos-puntos entre las horas y los minutos (agregada en PHP 5.1.3) Ejemplo: +02:00 T Abreviación de zona horaria Ejemplos: EST, MDT ... Z Desplazamiento de la zona horaria en segundos. El desplazamiento para zonas horarias al oeste de UTC es siempre negativo, y el de aquellas al este de UTC es siempre positivo. -43200 a 50400 Fecha/Hora Completa --- --- c Fecha ISO 8601 (agregada en PHP 5) 2004-02-12T15:19:21+00:00 r Fecha en formato » RFC 2822 Ejemplo: Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200 U Segundos desde el Epoch Unix (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT) Vea también time() Los caracteres no reconocidos en la cadena de formato serán impresos como son. El formato Z siempre devuelve 0 cuando se usa gmdate().
Note: Dado que esta función solo acepta marcas de tiempo tipo integer, el caracter de formato u sólo es útil cuando se usa la función date_format() con marcas de tiempo creadas con date_create() basadas en el usuario.
- timestamp
-
The optional timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time().
Valores retornados
Devuelve una cadena de fecha con formate. Si es usado un valor no-numérico en marca_de_tiempo , se devuelve FALSE y un error de nivel E_WARNING es emitido.
Errors/Exceptions
Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT message if using the system settings or the TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set()
Registro de cambios
| Versión | Descripción |
|---|---|
| 5.1.0 | El rango válido de una marca de tiempo es típicamente de Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 GMT a Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:07 GMT. (Estas son las fechas que corresponden a los valores mínimo y máximo para un entero de 32-bits con signo). Sin embargo, antes de PHP 5.1, este rango estaba limitado desde 01-01-1970 a 19-01-2038 en algunos sistemas (p.ej. Windows). |
| 5.1.0 | Now issues the E_STRICT and E_NOTICE time zone errors. |
| 5.1.1 | Existen algunas constantes útiles de formatos estándar de fecha/hora que pueden usarse para especificar el parámetro formato . |
Ejemplos
Example #1 Ejemplos de date()
<?php
// definir la zona horaria predeterminada a usar. Disponible desde PHP 5.1
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
// Imprime algo como: Monday
echo date("l");
// Imprime algo como: Monday 15th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM
echo date('l dS \of F Y h:i:s A');
// Imprime: July 1, 2000 is on a Saturday
echo "July 1, 2000 is on a " . date("l", mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));
/* usar las constantes en el parámetro formato */
// imprime algo como: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 15:12:46 UTC
echo date(DATE_RFC822);
// imprime algo como: 2000-07-01T00:00:00+00:00
echo date(DATE_ATOM, mktime(0, 0, 0, 7, 1, 2000));
?>
Puede prevenir que un caracter reconocido en la cadena de formato sea expandido escapándolo con una barra invertida. Si el caracter con una barra invertida es una secuencia especial, puede que necesite escapar también la barra invertida.
Example #2 Escapar caracteres en date()
<?php
// imprime algo como: Wednesday the 15th
echo date("l \\t\h\e jS");
?>
Es posible usar date() y mktime() juntos para encontrar fechas en el futuro o el pasado.
Example #3 Ejemplo de date() y mktime()
<?php
$manyana = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") , date("d")+1, date("Y"));
$ultimo_mes = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m")-1, date("d"), date("Y"));
$siguiente_anyo = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("Y")+1);
?>
Note: Esto puede ser más confiable que simplemente sumar o restar el número de segundos en un día o mes de una marca de tiempo debido a las horas de ahorro de luz diurna.
Algunos ejemplos de formato de date(). Note que debe escapar cualquier otro caracter, ya que cualquiera que tenga un significado especial producirá resultados indeseados, y otros caracteres pueden recibir un significado en versiones futuras de PHP. Cuando escape caracteres, asegúrese de usar comillas sencillas para evitar que caracteres como \n se conviertan en saltos de línea.
Example #4 Formato de date()
<?php
// Asumiendo que hoy es: March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm
$hoy = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm
$hoy = date("m.d.y"); // 03.10.01
$hoy = date("j, n, Y"); // 10, 3, 2001
$hoy = date("Ymd"); // 20010310
$hoy = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day z '); // 05-16-17, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Fripm01
$hoy = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.'); // It is the 10th day.
$hoy = date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); // Sat Mar 10 15:16:08 MST 2001
$hoy = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h'); // 17:03:17 m is month
$hoy = date("H:i:s"); // 17:16:17
?>
Para dar formato a fechas en otros idiomas, debe usar las funciones setlocale() y strftime() en lugar de date().
Notes
Note: Para generar una marca de tiempo a partir de una representación tipo cadena de la fecha, es posible usar strtotime(). Adicionalmente, algunas bases de datos tienen funciones para convertir sus formatos de fecha a marcas de tiempo (como la función » UNIX_TIMESTAMP de MySQL).
Tip
La marca de tiempo del comienzo de la petición está disponible en $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] a partir de PHP 5.1.

Find out how many days a month has (including leap-years) in one single line command:
$numberOfDays = date("d", mktime(0, 0, 0, $month + 1, 0, $year));
This is possible because if you set the field "day" as ZERO in MKTIME, it will consider the last day of month-1.

<?php
# Date: y-m-d => d-m-y
$time =explode("-","2008-01-01");
krsort($time);
print implode("-",$time);
?>
<p>Will return: 01-01-2008.
<?php

<?php
# Quickest: Y-m-d => American Format
print date("m-d-Y",strtotime("2008-02-01"));
?>
<p>Will return: 02-01-2008.
<?php
# Quickest: Y-m-d => Brittish Format
print date("d.m.Y",strtotime("2008-01-01"));

Here is an easy MySQL way of getting the difference in dates. For me it is more logical to do this on the select than running it though an additional PHP function after selecting the date. But depends on what your doing of course. I hope it helps.
SELECT ABS(DATEDIFF(NOW(),yourdateField)) as dateDiff

The PHP4 replacement for ISO8601 posted by fokeyjoe has a little flaw:
The time in ISO is in 24 hour format, so an uppercase H must be used.
Correct format is:
$sISO8601=date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s',$nTimestamp). substr_replace(date('O',$nTimestamp),':',3,0);
Short version for NOW:
$sISO8601=date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s'). substr_replace(date('O'),':',3,0);

Complementing the information by ZZigc on 28-Dec-2007 07:38, if you want to calculate the number of weeks in a given year, according to the week definition by ISO 8601, the following should be enough:
date('W', mktime(0,0,0,12,28,$year) );
(the last week on a give year always contains 28-Dec)
jc
31-Dec-2007 03:28
31-Dec-2007 03:28
date("W") returns the iso8601 week number, while date("Y") returns the _current_ year. This can lead to odd results. For example today (dec 31, 2007) it returns 1 for the week and of course 2007 for the year. This is not wrong in a strict sense because iso defines this week as the first of 2008 while we still have 2007.
So, if you don't have another way to safely retrieve the year according to the iso8061 week-date - strftime("%G") doesn't work on some systems -, you should be careful when working with date("W").
For most cases strftime("%W") should be a safe replacement.
[edit: Much easier is to use "o" (lower case O) instead of "Y"]

I wanted to get the number of weeks for particular year.
Example with date():
<?php
$weeks_in_year = date("W", strtotime("12/31/2007"));
?>
It works for years smaller than current year, but returns '01' when year was the same or bigger as current year.
Not sure if I missed something or maybe misused this function but I couldn't get it to work even with different date representations.
So the workaround was using different function.
Example with strftime():
<?php
$weeks_in_year = strftime("%W",strtotime("12/31/2007"));
?>
Now it works as a charm.

re: marius at svr dot ro
to anyone using marius' function, it needs some minor fixes (look for a ---->)
<?php
//The function returns the no. of business days between two dates and it skeeps the holidays
function getWorkingDays($startDate,$endDate,$holidays){
//The total number of days between the two dates. We compute the no. of seconds and divide it to 60*60*24
//We add one to inlude both dates in the interval.
$days = (strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate)) / 86400 + 1;
$no_full_weeks = floor($days / 7);
$no_remaining_days = fmod($days, 7);
//It will return 1 if it's Monday,.. ,7 for Sunday
$the_first_day_of_week = date("N",strtotime($startDate));
$the_last_day_of_week = date("N",strtotime($endDate));
//---->The two can be equal in leap years when february has 29 days, the equal sign is added here
//In the first case the whole interval is within a week, in the second case the interval falls in two weeks.
if ($the_first_day_of_week <= $the_last_day_of_week){
if ($the_first_day_of_week <= 6 && 6 <= $the_last_day_of_week) $no_remaining_days--;

//In the case when the interval falls in two weeks, there will be a Sunday for sure
$no_remaining_days--;
}
//The no. of business days is: (number of weeks between the two dates) * (5 working days) + the remainder
//---->february in none leap years gave a remainder of 0 but still calculated weekends between first and last day, this is one way to fix it
$workingDays = $no_full_weeks * 5;
if ($no_remaining_days > 0 )
{
$workingDays += $no_remaining_days;
}
//We subtract the holidays
foreach($holidays as $holiday){
$time_stamp=strtotime($holiday);
//If the holiday doesn't fall in weekend
if (strtotime($startDate) <= $time_stamp && $time_stamp <= strtotime($endDate) && date("N",$time_stamp) != 6 && date("N",$time_stamp) != 7)
$workingDays--;
}
return $workingDays;
}
//Example:
$holidays=array("2006-12-25","2006-12-26","2007-01-01");
echo getWorkingDays("2006-12-22","2007-01-06",$holidays)
// => will return 8

For JasonLFunk
I did some testing on the occurrence for a given date within the month (i.e 1st Monday, 2nd Wednesday, 3rd Friday, etc.).
where $dDate is a getdate() array
intval(($dDate['mday']-1)/7)+1
Returns an integer representing the week for a given date. I tested on a complete calendar month and it seems to work well.
I then convert to a string and compare to a string list of values to see if it is in the list. If it is - it qualifies. So, my list of values might be '2,4' representing every 2nd and 4th occurrence.

Hello, these notes have been very helpful and help me solve the following problem.
I have a db with scheduled items that contain a start date, a day to occur on and how many weeks from the next closest day to happen again. I wrote the following script to do the following
1. Accept : starting date, the current date, the number of weeks between occurances and the day of the week it is to occur on.
2. Find the closest future day of the week argument from the start date.
3. Find out when the next time the item should happen via the weeks inbetween and the closest day of the week to the start date.
The result could be compared with your current date to trigger your periodical item or simply to find out when the next occurances will happen.
// $startDate:Date
// $todayDate:Date
// $weeks:Int - number of weeks in between
// $wantDay:String - full day of the week
function getWeekPeriodDate($startDate,$todayDate,$weeks,$wantDay){
$startDate = date("Y-m-d", strtotime("next $wantDay" ,strtotime($startDate)));
$dayDiff = round((strtotime($startDate)-strtotime($todayDate))/(24*60*60),0);
$weekPeriodDiff = abs(round($dayDiff/7/$weeks)*$weeks);
return date("Y-m-d",strtotime($startDate . " + " . $weekPeriodDiff . " weeks"));
}
Usage :getWeekPeriodDate("2006-July-1","2007-Nov-5",8,"Tuesday")
returns : 2007-11-20 (which is the next Tuesday based on 8 week periods since the next Tuesday closest to the start date)

For people who used "z" format...
The real range of "z" key format is 0 to 365 (instead of 366) and "z" represent the number of spent days in the year.
See this examples :
<?php
define ("\n" , NL );
print '<pre>';
print '"z" format interpretation:' . NL . NL;
print 'On 0 timestamp: "' . date( 'z : Y-m-d' , 0 ) . '"' . NL;
//show: On 0 timestamp: "0 : 1970-01-01"
print 'On second unix day: "' . date( 'z : Y-m-d' , 3600*24 ) . '"' . NL;
//show: On second unix day: "1 : 1970-01-02"
print 'On the last day of a leap year: "' . date( 'z : Y-m-d' , mktime( 23, 59, 59, 12, 31, 2000 ) ) . '"' . NL;
//show: On the last day of a leap year: "365 : 2000-12-31"
print 'On the day after the last day of a leap year: "' . date( 'z : Y-m-d' , mktime( 23, 59, 59, 12, 31+1, 2000 ) ) . '"' . NL;
//show: On the day after the last day of a leap year: "0 : 2001-01-01"
print '</pre>';

i needed the day (eg. 27th) of the last Monday of a month
<?php
$d=cal_days_in_month(CAL_GREGORIAN,$m,$y); // days in month
if (date('l',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$d,$y))=='Monday'): $finalmonday=$d;
else: $finalmonday=date('d',strtotime('last Monday',mktime(0,0,0,$m,$d,$y))); // day(date) of last monday of month, eg 26
endif;
?>
this also works...
<?php
$finalmonday=date('d',strtotime('last Monday',mktime(0,0,0,$m,($d+1),$y)));
//the '$d+1' is to catch the last day IS a monday (eg. dec 2007)
?>
Hope it helps, BigJonMX

Just a small addition to dmitriy. If the present date is in daylight saving time, and the date in the past is not, the result will not be a whole number by dividing by 86400. It will be something like 48.958333333. This is because the day in which it changes from normal to daylight saving time is one hour longer than normal (90000 secs) and the opposite is true when changing back (the day would be one hour shorter - 82800 secs).
If you want a whole number of days use the following instead:
<?php
$digest_date = "2007-01-01";
$date_diff = round( abs(strtotime(date('y-m-d'))-strtotime($digest_date)) / 86400, 0 );
?>

soreenpk - the code snippet you posted will not find the day difference between two days that are not in the same month. This will:
<?php
$digest_date = "2007-06-01";
$date_diff = abs(strtotime(date('y-m-d'))-strtotime($digest_date)) / 86400;
?>
86400 is the number of seconds in a day, so finding the date difference in seconds and converting to days will give true day difference between dates. Cheers.

This is an implementation for days360 formula used in financial calc software, this asumes year with 360 days and months with 30 days.
I am looking for a reliable function to add days to a date using 30[E]/360 format.
<?php
/* Calc days between two dates using the financial calendar
30/360 (usa) or 30E/360(european)<-default
$fecha1 and $fecha2 in format: aaaa-mm-dd
return days or -1 in case of error.
based on cost_analysis.py module Ver. 0.1 public domain, no license required by Harm Kirchhoff
*/
function days_360($fecha1,$fecha2,$europeo=true) {
//try switch dates: min to max
if( $fecha1 > $fecha2 ) {
$temf = $fecha1;
$fecha1 = $fecha2;
$fecha2 = $temf;
}
// get day month year...
list($yy1, $mm1, $dd1) = explode('-', $fecha1);
list($yy2, $mm2, $dd2) = explode('-', $fecha2);
if( $dd1==31) { $dd1 = 30; }
//checks according standars: 30E/360 or 30/360.
if(!$europeo) {
if( ($dd1==30) and ($dd2==31) ) {
$dd2=30;
} else {
if( $dd2==31 ) {
$dd2=30;
}
}
}
//check for invalid date
if( ($dd1<1) or ($dd2<1) or ($dd1>30) or ($dd2>31) or
($mm1<1) or ($mm2<1) or ($mm1>12) or ($mm2>12) or
($yy1>$yy2) ) {
return(-1);
}
if( ($yy1==$yy2) and ($mm1>$mm2) ) { return(-1); }
if( ($yy1==$yy2) and ($mm1==$mm2) and ($dd1>$dd2) ) { return(-1); }
//Calc
$yy = $yy2-$yy1;
$mm = $mm2-$mm1;
$dd = $dd2-$dd1;
return( ($yy*360)+($mm*30)+$dd );
}
// usage:
echo days_360("2007-01-13","2007-05-20");
?>

Another method for getting close to ISO8601 using PHP4 (should cover all versions). This format gets you compliant RDF/RSS feed dates:
$sISO8601=date('Y-m-d\Th:i:s',$nTimestamp). substr_replace(date('O',$nTimestamp),':',3,0);
The main limitation I'm aware of is the non-compliant year around new year.

To everyone who is posting functions to parse date strings and turn them into time stamps - please look at the strtotime() function. It probably already does whatever you're writing a function to do.
To the person right below me: while your function might be an extremely small bit more efficient, strtotime() will work just fine.

Note for wips week limits function:
I had to run it over 52 weeks of the year and it was very slow so I've modified to improve:
function week_limits($weekNumber, $year, $pattern)
{
$pattern = ($pattern) ? $pattern : "m/d";
$stday = 7 * $weekNumber - 7;
$stDayNumber = date("w", mktime(0,0,0,1, 1+$stday, $year));
$stUtime = mktime(0,0,0,1,1+$stday-$stDayNumber, $year);
$start_time = date($pattern, $stUtime);
$end_time = date($pattern, $stUtime+6*24*60*60);
return array($start_time, $end_time);
}//week_limits()

Re: steve at somejunkwelike dot com
I think this is a better function to find the business days between two dates. This function requires PHP 5.1.0.
<?php
//The function returns the no. of business days between two dates and it skeeps the holidays
function getWorkingDays($startDate,$endDate,$holidays){
//The total number of days between the two dates. We compute the no. of seconds and divide it to 60*60*24
//We add one to inlude both dates in the interval.
$days = (strtotime($endDate) - strtotime($startDate)) / 86400 + 1;
$no_full_weeks = floor($days / 7);
$no_remaining_days = fmod($days, 7);
//It will return 1 if it's Monday,.. ,7 for Sunday
$the_first_day_of_week = date("N",strtotime($startDate));
$the_last_day_of_week = date("N",strtotime($endDate));
//The two can't be equal because the $no_remaining_days (the interval between $the_first_day_of_week and $the_last_day_of_week) is at most 6
//In the first case the whole interval is within a week, in the second case the interval falls in two weeks.
if ($the_first_day_of_week < $the_last_day_of_week){
if ($the_first_day_of_week <= 6 && 6 <= $the_last_day_of_week) $no_remaining_days--;
if ($the_first_day_of_week <= 7 && 7 <= $the_last_day_of_week) $no_remaining_days--;
}
else{
if ($the_first_day_of_week <= 6) $no_remaining_days--;
//In the case when the interval falls in two weeks, there will be a Sunday for sure
$no_remaining_days--;
}
//The no. of business days is: (number of weeks between the two dates) * (5 working days) + the remainder
$workingDays = $no_full_weeks * 5 + $no_remaining_days;
//We subtract the holidays
foreach($holidays as $holiday){
$time_stamp=strtotime($holiday);
//If the holiday doesn't fall in weekend
if (strtotime($startDate) <= $time_stamp && $time_stamp <= strtotime($endDate) && date("N",$time_stamp) != 6 && date("N",$time_stamp) != 7)
