Date/Time
I wrote a simple function to converter datetime to UNIX timestamp. If the input time with error format, the function will return current timestamp.
<?php
function datetime2timestamp($datetime)
{
$datetime = str_replace('-', ' ', $datetime);
$datetime = str_replace('/', ' ', $datetime);
$datetime = str_replace(':', ' ', $datetime);
$array = explode(' ', $datetime);
$year = $array[0];
$month = $array[1];
$day = $array[2];
$array[3] ? $hour = $array[3] : $hour = '00';
$array[4] ? $minute = $array[4] : $minute = '00';
$array[5] ? $second = $array[5] : $second = '00';
if (preg_match("/^(\d{4}) (\d{2}) (\d{2}) ([01][0-9]|2[0-3]) ([0-5][0-9]) ([0-5][0-9])$/", "$year $month $day $hour $minute $second", $matches)) {
if (checkdate($matches[2], $matches[3], $matches[1])) {
return mktime(intval($hour), intval($minute), intval($second), intval($month), intval($day), intval($year));
} else {
return time();
}
} else {
return time();
}
}
?>

for funny leap year detection:
<?php
function is_leap($year=NULL) {
return checkdate(2, 29, ($year==NULL)? date('Y'):$year); // true if is a leap year
}
?>

here's a cool function to validate a mysql datetime:
<?php
function isValidDateTime($dateTime)
{
if (preg_match("/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) ([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9])$/", $dateTime, $matches)) {
if (checkdate($matches[2], $matches[3], $matches[1])) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
?>

for checking the rime use this:
<?php
function checktime($hour, $minute) {
if ($hour > -1 && $hour < 24 && $minute > -1 && $minute < 60) {
return true;
}
}
?>

checkData function posted below does not consider a date entered such as 03/27c/2000. The c will cause it to crash. Here is the fix.
<?php
function checkData($mydate) {
list($yy,$mm,$dd)=explode("-",$mydate);
if (is_numeric($yy) && is_numeric($mm) && is_numeric($dd))
{
return checkdate($mm,$dd,$yy);
}
return false;
}
?>

If you have a date like this gg/mm/aaaa and you'd like to verify that it is in the Italian Format you can use a function like this.
For other date format you can take this code and simply modify the list and explode line
<?php
/**
* check a date in the Italian format
*/
function checkData($date)
{
if (!isset($date) || $date=="")
{
return false;
}
list($dd,$mm,$yy)=explode("/",$date);
if ($dd!="" && $mm!="" && $yy!="")
{
return checkdate($mm,$dd,$yy);
}
return false;
}
?>
