I'm developing a website for specific EVENTS. Each EVENT lasts for three months and has fixed start date and end date, and they repeat each year: Event 1: Jan. 1st – Mar. 31st Event 2: Apr. 1st – Jun. 30th Event 3: Jul. 1st – Sep. 30th Event 4: Oct. 1st – Dec. 31st I have two functions FUNCTION 1: should run 3 days before start of the event. FUNCTION 2: should run 1 day before start of last month of the event. Functions should execute only that specific event and not other future or past events. Here how the functions should run for each Event: Event 1: Jan. 1st – Mar. 31st Function 1: on Dec 29 Function 2: last day of Feb Event 2: Apr. 1st – Jun. 30th Function 1: on Mar 29 Function 2: last day of May Event 3: Jul. 1st – Sep. 30th Function 1: on Jun 28th Function 2: Last day of Aug Event 4: Oct. 1st – Dec. 31st Function 1: on Sept 28th Function 2: last day of Nov What I'm doing right now is checking today's date and comparing it to the event date. If event start date is > today and event start date < 3 then run function one. My problem/questions: As of now, I have to remember to execute the functions manually on a specific date. How can I make this automated? Can I execute the function using server Cron job? Will that be a good practice? How would you approach in checking the event date to today? I feel there maybe better way of checking the date to run the function instead of what I'm doing. I hope my question is not vague and makes sense. Thank you.

I have date stored in database in any of the given forms 2020-06-01, 2020-05-01 or 2019-04-01 I want to compare the old date with current date 2020-06-14 And the result should be in days. Any help please? PS: I want to do it on php side. but if its possible to do on database side (I am using myslq) please share both ways?

Hi, I have two date and time stamps stored in my database, I'm using the below script to calculate the difference but whenever I'm getting an extra 1 hour added ?? Any ideas, Cheers Chris <?php $start = $row_rsComplete['quote_added']; $finish = $row_rsComplete['quote_complete']; $difference = ($finish - $start); $day = round(($difference % 604800) / 86400); $hours = round((($difference % 604800) % 86400) / 3600); $minutes = round(((($difference % 604800) % 86400) % 3600) / 60); echo $day." days"."<br/>"; echo $hours." hours"."<br/>"; echo $minutes." minutes"."<br/>"; ?>

Here is my countdown counter code. It works. But I would like to show multiple of these countdown counters with different dates, on a single page. I tried duplicating them and giving them different "due" id name but I the result I get is like this "NaNd NaNh NaNm NaNs". What's the proper way to duplicate the code below and give them different dates? <div id="due"></div> <script> // Set the date we're counting down to var countDownDate = new Date("2017-05-05 19:01:58c").getTime(); // Update the count down every 1 second var x = setInterval(function() { // Get todays date and time var now = new Date().getTime(); // Find the distance between now an the count down date var distance = countDownDate - now; // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60)); var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60)); var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000); // Display the result in the element with id="due" document.getElementById("due").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " + minutes + "m " + seconds + "s "; // If the count down is finished, write some text if (distance < 0) { clearInterval(x); document.getElementById("due").innerHTML = "OVERDUE"; } }, 1000); </script>

Say I have a simple date like this. $date = 2017-08-10 00:06:10; I would like to have an if statement that tells me whether or not the date is empty. These are my methods but I'm not sure if it's the proper way of doing it. . if(empty($date)) { // do nothing } else { // do something } if($date == 0000-00-00 00:00:00) { // do nothing } else { // do something }

I've got an HTML 5 date input box working on my site. Anyone know how to make the whole thing selectable like a drop down (select) box? Currently you can only select it by clicking on the arrow at the far right of it. I don't mind about losing the cross or up and down arrows. I just want the field to be fully selectable like a drop down box. Any ideas please? Thanks.
