Hi Richard,
Well, I took a look at, and I think it is TOO complex to handler a
simple thing..
Well, that's my little contribution:
function str2time($input = '12/31/1969')
{
$year = substr($input, -4);
$input = substr_replace($input, 1976 , -4);
return floor(strtotime($input) + (($year - 1976) *
(31557376.189582)));
}
It work with ONLY a few hours more or less compared to my MacOS
strtotime function, now I don't know which one is more accurate..
Well, why did you choose the year 1976, because it's an bisixth(?)
year. So it was a matter of simple math.
I would appreciate any help from everybody to:
As I suppose that the last 4 digits are the year, I would like a
pattern that could match a four digits number inside a string.
Any body know how many seconds and microseconds have a year, I found
a round number (31557376.189582).
Well, any help is appreciate.
At least now I can work on a windows box.
Best Regards,
Bruno B B Magalhaes
