POPHP date('l', $timestamp) error
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm looking to see if anyone might have seen this anywhere. A timestamp is passed in ($timestamp) and converted to its day, month, weekday, year and stored in various properties in an object using the PHP date function, as well as the timestamp itself being stored as a property. Later, in a seperate method, if I use the date function to reconstruct the weekday (date('l', $timestamp)) I get a different result that the stored property. </p> <p>These three methods are the path used to get the result:</p> <pre><code> public function setDate( $time ) { $this->checkTime['timeStamp'] = $time; // Timestamp from input string, always a date, no hours $this->checkTime['year'] = date('Y', $time); // Year from input string $this->checkTime['month'] = date('n', $time); // Month from Input String $this->checkTime['date'] = date('j', $time); // Date from input string $this->checkTime['dateDay'] = date('D', $time); // Gives the weekday (used in array-indexing the refDays property for calculating day by position) $this->checkTime['fullDateDay'] = date('l', $time); // Gives the full weekday (used in creating a string to create a timestamp from an arbitrary date) $this->checkTime['dateWeek'] = floor(($this->checkTime['date']/7)); // Gives the 1st-5th (dateDay) of the month } </code></pre> <p>...</p> <pre><code>public function monthSchedule() { Utils::debugWriteA('appTrace', 'CHECKTIME: '. $this->checkTime['timeStamp']); $nowDay = date('Yz', $this->nowTime); // Is the scheduled day happening today? $startDay = date('Yz', $this->checkTime['timeStamp']); if ( !($nowDay < $startDay) ){ if ( $nowDay == $startDay ) { if ( $this->countHour < $this->nowTime ) { $this->offsetMonth++; } } else { $this->offsetMonth++; } } $this->offsetMonth = $this->factor * $this->offsetMonth; $method = $this->dateFormat; //For this example, $this->dateFormat = weekDay $this->$method(); } </code></pre> <p>...</p> <pre><code> public function weekDay() { // Check the day position, find it relative to the next month's event, calculate nextEvent based upon the next date if ($this->checkTime['dateWeek'] == 4) { $this->offsetMonth++; } $month = mktime(0,0,0,($this->checkTime['month']+$this->offsetMonth),1,$this->checkTime['year']); $year = date('Y', mktime(0,0,0,($this->checkTime['month']+$this->offsetMonth),1,$this->checkTime['year'])); $week = $this->refWeeks[$this->checkTime['dateWeek']]; $string = $year.' '.date('F', $month).' '.$week.' '. date('l', $this->checkTime['timeStamp']); $this->eventTime = strtotime($string) + $this->dataHour * $this->unitsToSeconds['hours']; } </code></pre> <p>I'm looking either for a fresh pair of eyes or confirmation that this is a bug that I need to code around; I do have a working solution and am willing to implement, but I do not know how the bug functions yet and so do not know when and where I ought to implement the work-around.</p> <p>EDIT: Some I/O</p> <pre><code>CHECKTIME: 1331355600, STORED DAY: Saturday //In setDate MONTHS //In monthDate CHECKTIME: 1331355600 IN MONTHDAY CHECKTIME: 1331355600, WEEKDAY FROM CHECKTIME: Wednesday </code></pre> <p>Double EDIT: new I/O- interesting. Set for Tuesday, March 13th- and it still comes out Wednesday.</p> <pre><code>CHECKTIME: 1331611200, STORED DAY: Tuesday MONTHS CHECKTIME: 1331611200 IN MONTHDAY CHECKTIME : 1331611200, WEEKDAY FROM CHECKTIME: Wednesday </code></pre>
