mktime have the folloing format int mktime (int hour, int minute, int second, int month, int day, int year)
I don't understand what represent $x[stop]. maybe time in hh:mm:ss format? if is that you ca use $reformat_stop=explode(":",$x[stop].":"."1:1:2001") stop=mktime($reformat_stop[0],$reformat_stop[1],$reformat_stop[2],$reformat_ stop[3],$reformat_stop[4],$reformat_stop[5]) be careful $stop is a timpstamp and you must use in combination with date() function. look in manual for more details about function date(); -- Best regards, George Nicolae IT Manager ___________________ X-Playin - Professional Web Design www.x-playin.f2s.com "Tom Beidler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > I'm trying to calculate elapsed time and I'm having trouble using mktime > with variables.
