Question

I have a datetime variable in JS which is:

var date_start   = dateFormat(newJobForm.time_start, "yyyy-mm-dd-HH-MM"); 
var date_end     = dateFormat(newJobForm.time_end, "yyyy-mm-dd-HH-MM"); 

The main problem is: I can’t show the minutes only

When I pass my dates to PHP’s date() function, because of the : between H and i, it won’t save it. I tried to explode() it with - but it didn’t work.

The URL is: my_controller/abcd^5^2012-10-15-15-15^2012-10-18-17-30 and my controller in CakePHP action to take the time from JS is:

$time_start          = $explode_item[2];                 
$time_end            = $explode_item[3]; 

$dateStart = strtotime ( date('Y-m-d H:i', $time_start) ) ;
            $dateStartArray['Y'] = date ( 'Y' , $dateStart );
            $dateStartArray['m'] = date ( 'm' , $dateStart );
            $dateStartArray['d'] = date ( 'd' , $dateStart );
            $dateStartArray['H'] = date ( 'H' , $dateStart );
            $dateStartArray['i'] = date ( 'i' , $dateStart );

Answer 1

I got the answer:

controller should be

$dateStart = date("Y-m-d H:i",strtotime ('+1 hour', strtotime (date("Y-m-d H:i",$time_start))));
$dateEnd   = date("Y-m-d H:i",strtotime ('+1 hour', strtotime (date("Y-m-d H:i",$time_end))));

and we need to convert the time to Echop in js

var d = new Date(value); var epochtime = (d.getTime()-d.getMilliseconds())/1000;

Done ! 🙂
