How do I generate a random time interval and add it to a mysql datetime using php?
- by KeenLearner
I have many rows in mysql table with datetime's in the format of:
2008-12-08 04:16:51 etc
I'd like to generate a random time interval of anywhere between 30 seconds, and 3 days and add them to the time above.
a) how do I generate a random time between 30 and 3 days?
b) how do I add this time to the date time format above?
I imagine i need to do a loop to pull out all the info, do the math in php, and then update the row...
Any ideas?
