Get strtotime of a specific time in php

I want to get the timestamp of the day / time, for example

17/12/2014 8pm

I am currently doing

$curtime = strtotime(date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));

which gives me the current timestamp, but I need to be 8pm.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you are trying to get the time stamp today at 8pm, it is actually much easier than using it date

, since you can use relative times in strtotime

:

$curtime = strtotime('today 8pm');

If you check this with date

:



echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $curtime); // Returns 2014-12-17 20:00:00

Here's a complete entry on relative date formats that explains how you can plot appropriate relative dates.

The best way to do it is date_create_from_format . After choosing the format options, you get something like this:



    $date = date_create_from_format('d/m/Y ga', '17/12/2014 8pm');
    if (!empty($date)) {//returns false if can't create date
        $timestamp = $date->getTimestamp();
        //echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s', $timestamp);
    }
