The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Code Uses Todays Date Istead Of DB Date

Asked by davecestria in PHP Scripting Language, PHP and Databases

Tags: php, date, adding days

Hello Experts,

Having a few more issues with adding days to a given date.

I have a DB field containing a date in DD/MM/YYYY format called OrderLeadTimeStartDate
I also have a field which has a numeric value (21 for example) OrderLeadTime

When an order is put on our system, we have a given number of days to complete the order, which would be OrderLeadTimeStartDate+OrderLeadTime(days).

I thought the code below would do this but instead of using the OrderLeadTimeStartDate it is actually using todays date to calculate when the order needs to be completed by.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

function addDayToDate($timeStamp, $totalDays){
        // You can add as many days as you want. mktime will accumulate to the next month / year.
        $thePHPDate = getdate($timeStamp);
        //$thePHPDate['mday'] = $thePHPDate['mday']+$totalDays;
        $timeStamp2 = mktime($thePHPDate['hours'], $thePHPDate['minutes'], $thePHPDate['seconds'], $thePHPDate['mon'], $thePHPDate['mday']+$totalDays, $thePHPDate['year']);
        return date("D d/m/Y", $timeStamp2);
    }
 
$ltsda = list($day, $month, $year) = split('[/.-]', $rec["OrderLeadTimeStartDate"]);
$ltsd = $month+"/"+$day+"/"+$year;
 
$obj->actionby = (string) addDayToDate(strtotime($ltsd),$rec["OrderLeadTime"]);
