Ah, another question from me.

Im trying to convert a mysql-esque time string to a unix timestamp, but the
mktime function keeps reuurning -1.

I tried the tm_isdst as -1, 0 and 1 to no avail.

Heres my function, thanks for any help

[FORMAT]
time_t mysql_time_to_unix_time(char * mysqltimestr)
{
struct tm * tm;

tm= new struct tm;

sscanf(mysqltimestr,"%4d",&tm->tm_year);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[5],"%2d",&tm->tm_mon);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[8],"%2d",&tm->tm_mday);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[11],"%2d",&tm->tm_hour);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[14],"%2d",&tm->tm_min);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[17],"%2d",&tm->tm_sec);

printf("Year=%d\n",tm->tm_year);
printf("Month=%d\n",tm->tm_mon);
printf("Day=%d\n",tm->tm_mday);
printf("Hour=%d\n",tm->tm_hour);
printf("Minute=%d\n",tm->tm_min);
printf("Second=%d\n",tm->tm_sec);

delete tm;

return mktime(tm);
}

Sorry , before any of you call me a dumbass heres the real function (still doesnt work)
time_t mysql_time_to_unix_time(char * mysqltimestr)
{
struct tm * tm;
time_t t;
tm= new struct tm;

sscanf(mysqltimestr,"%4d",&tm->tm_year);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[5],"%2d",&tm->tm_mon);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[8],"%2d",&tm->tm_mday);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[11],"%2d",&tm->tm_hour);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[14],"%2d",&tm->tm_min);
sscanf(&mysqltimestr[17],"%2d",&tm->tm_sec);

printf("Year=%d\n",tm->tm_year);
printf("Month=%d\n",tm->tm_mon);
printf("Day=%d\n",tm->tm_mday);
printf("Hour=%d\n",tm->tm_hour);
printf("Minute=%d\n",tm->tm_min);
printf("Second=%d\n",tm->tm_sec);

t=mktime(tm);

delete tm;

return t;
}

Never mind, I figured it out myself ... I had to reduce the month by 1 and the year by 1900
