-<h1>Date Helper</h1>
-
-<p>The Date Helper file contains functions that help you work with dates.</p>
-
-
-<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
-
-<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
-<code>$this->load->helper('date');</code>
-
-
-<p>The following functions are available:</p>
-
-<h2>now()</h2>
-
-<p>Returns the current time as a Unix timestamp, referenced either to your server's local time or GMT, based on the "time reference"
-setting in your config file. If you do not intend to set your master time reference to GMT (which you'll typically do if you
-run a site that lets each user set their own timezone settings) there is no benefit to using this function over PHP's time() function.
-</p>
-
-
-
-
-<h2>mdate()</h2>
-
-<p>This function is identical to PHPs <a href="http://www.php.net/date">date()</a> function, except that it lets you
-use MySQL style date codes, where each code letter is preceded with a percent sign: %Y %m %d etc.</p>
-
-<p>The benefit of doing dates this way is that you don't have to worry about escaping any characters that
-are not date codes, as you would normally have to do with the date() function. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$datestring = "Year: %Y Month: %m Day: %d - %h:%i %a";<br />
-$time = time();<br />
-<br />
-echo mdate($datestring, $time);</code>
-
-<p>If a timestamp is not included in the second parameter the current time will be used.</p>
-
-
-<h2>standard_date()</h2>
-
-<p>Lets you generate a date string in one of several standardized formats. Example:</p>
-
-<code>
-$format = 'DATE_RFC822';<br />
-$time = time();<br />
-<br />
-echo standard_date($format, $time);
-</code>
-
-<p>The first parameter must contain the format, the second parameter must contain the date as a Unix timestamp.</p>
-
-<p>Supported formats:</p>
-

-
-<h2>local_to_gmt()</h2>
-
-<p>Takes a Unix timestamp as input and returns it as GMT. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$now = time();<br />
-<br />
-$gmt = local_to_gmt($now);</code>
-
-
-<h2>gmt_to_local()</h2>
-
-<p>Takes a Unix timestamp (referenced to GMT) as input, and converts it to a localized timestamp based on the
-timezone and Daylight Saving time submitted. Example:</p>
-
-<code>
-$timestamp = '1140153693';<br />
-$timezone = 'UM8';<br />
-$daylight_saving = TRUE;<br />
-<br />
-echo gmt_to_local($timestamp, $timezone, $daylight_saving);</code>
-
-<p><strong>Note:</strong> For a list of timezones see the reference at the bottom of this page.</p>
-
-<h2>mysql_to_unix()</h2>
-
-<p>Takes a MySQL Timestamp as input and returns it as Unix. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$mysql = '20061124092345';<br />
-<br />
-$unix = mysql_to_unix($mysql);</code>
-
-
-<h2>unix_to_human()</h2>
-
-<p>Takes a Unix timestamp as input and returns it in a human readable format with this prototype:</p>
-
-<code>YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS AM/PM</code>
-
-<p>This can be useful if you need to display a date in a form field for submission.</p>
-
-<p>The time can be formatted with or without seconds, and it can be set to European or US format. If only
-the timestamp is submitted it will return the time without seconds formatted for the U.S. Examples:</p>
-
-<code>$now = time();<br />
-<br />
-echo unix_to_human($now); // U.S. time, no seconds<br />
-<br />
-echo unix_to_human($now, TRUE, 'us'); // U.S. time with seconds<br />
-<br />
-echo unix_to_human($now, TRUE, 'eu'); // Euro time with seconds</code>
-
-
-<h2>human_to_unix()</h2>
-
-<p>The opposite of the above function. Takes a "human" time as input and returns it as Unix. This function is
-useful if you accept "human" formatted dates submitted via a form. Returns FALSE (boolean) if
-the date string passed to it is not formatted as indicated above. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$now = time();<br />
-<br />
-$human = unix_to_human($now);<br />
-<br />
-$unix = human_to_unix($human);</code>
-
-
-
-
-
-<h2>timespan()</h2>
-
-<p>Formats a unix timestamp so that is appears similar to this:</p>
-
-<code>1 Year, 10 Months, 2 Weeks, 5 Days, 10 Hours, 16 Minutes</code>
-
-<p>The first parameter must contain a Unix timestamp. The second parameter must contain a
-timestamp that is greater that the first timestamp. If the second parameter empty, the current time will be used. The most common purpose
-for this function is to show how much time has elapsed from some point in time in the past to now. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$post_date = '1079621429';<br />
-$now = time();<br />
-<br />
-echo timespan($post_date, $now);</code>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The text generated by this function is found in the following language file: language/&lt;your_lang&gt;/date_lang.php</p>
-
-
-<h2>days_in_month()</h2>
-
-<p>Returns the number of days in a given month/year. Takes leap years into account. Example:</p>
-<code>echo days_in_month(06, 2005);</code>
-
-<p>If the second parameter is empty, the current year will be used.</p>
-<h2>timezones()</h2>
-<p> Takes a timezone reference (for a list of valid timezones, see the &quot;Timezone Reference&quot; below) and returns the number of hours offset from UTC.</p>
-<p><code>echo timezones('UM5');</code></p>
-<p>This function is useful when used with timezone_menu(). </p>
-<h2>timezone_menu()</h2>
-<p>Generates a pull-down menu of timezones, like this one:</p>
-
-<form action="#">
-<select name="timezones">
-<option value='UM12'>(UTC - 12:00) Enitwetok, Kwajalien</option>

-<option value='UP12'>(UTC + 12:00) Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Marshall Island</option>
-</select>
-</form>
-
-<p>This menu is useful if you run a membership site in which your users are allowed to set their local timezone value.</p>
-
-<p>The first parameter lets you set the "selected" state of the menu. For example, to set Pacific time as the default you will do this:</p>
-
-<code>echo timezone_menu('UM8');</code>
-
-<p>Please see the timezone reference below to see the values of this menu.</p>
-
-<p>The second parameter lets you set a CSS class name for the menu.</p>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The text contained in the menu is found in the following language file: language/&lt;your_lang&gt;/date_lang.php</p>
-
