PHP Date problems :(

I’m using Zend-AMF to connect from Flash to PHP .

I’m ripping my hair out over the simplest thing

The following works perfectly when echo’d in php

It should output: 01-10-2009 11:55 (or similiar).

However, when I try wrapping it up in a function within a PHP class:

public function getDate()
{
    $thedate = date("d-m") . "-20" . date("y") . date(" H:i", time());
    return $thedate;
}

and call that function using ZendAMF I get an error indicating there is an error in my PHP class

Ive tried simplifying it down to:

public function getDate()
{
    $thedate = date("d");
    return $thedate;
}

but it still gives the error anyone have any ideas?

edit: love the new code (pre) blocks

i think you have something wrong with your AS code… NetConnection.Call.BadVersion

may be about the amf version? i dunno… and i really suggest AMFPHP .. that rocks!

i’m using ZendAMF which is the version of AMF -PHP supported by adobe…

My AS code is fine because if I change the php function to:

public function getDate()
{
    $thedate = "01-10-2009: 12:25";
    return $thedate;
}

then it works and returns the value to flash as it should do so there is something going on with the date function

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

$thedate = date("d",time());

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !

try to set date 2nd optional parameter:

$thedate = date("d",time());

yeah still wont work

works on its own, its when used within the ZendAMF it breaks

works at all if you swap “date” with other functions ? like “strtoupper”

public function getDate(){
    return (date("d-m") . "-20" . date("y") . date(" H:i", time()));
}

yeah, works with all string functions, its just the date that wont work

I don’t know a lick of PHP but have you tried returning the string as is like in the following snippet:

public function getDate(){
    return (date("d-m") . "-20" . date("y") . date(" H:i", time()));
}

yeah that wont work either, seems any date call just breaks it
