Hi,
Now, disclaimer: I'm about as far from an expert in SCO UNIX as it's possible to be. But from some Googlings it seems your syntax is correct for the implementation of date in your version of SCO UNIX.
So, shot in the dark guess here: do you have another version of the date command (GNU date, say ?) in your PATH before the native SCO one ? That might explain why even the SCO admin tools are failing with the same error, if the date command they're picking up on isn't the SCO one, and so the -t flag is being rejected.
As I say, a pure guess, but it's the best thing I can think of: that the date command you're running isn't actually the native SCO one.

Hi
I use "touch -t xxxxxxxx" command to set date/time stamp of a file. My requirement is to read the date/time stamp of a file and apply it to another file.
Is there anyway to do it simple instead of manually taking date/stamp of first file?
TIA

datetime.__construct
DATETIME.__CONSTRUCT(3) 1 DATETIME.__CONSTRUCT(3)
DateTime::__construct - Returns new DateTime object
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public DateTime::__construct NULL ([string $time = "now"], [DateTimeZone $timezone])
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
DateTime date_create NULL ([string $time = "now"], [DateTimeZone $timezone])
Returns new DateTime object.
PARAMETERS
o $time
-A date/time string. Valid formats are explained in Date and Time Formats. Enter NULL here to obtain the current time when using
the $timezone parameter.
o $timezone
- A DateTimeZone object representing the timezone of $time. If $timezone is omitted, the current timezone will be used.
Note
The $timezone parameter and the current timezone are ignored when the $time parameter either is a UNIX timestamp (e.g.
@946684800) or specifies a timezone (e.g. 2010-01-28T15:00:00+02:00).

| 5.3.0 | |
| | |
| | If $time contains an invalid date/time format, |
| | then an exception is now thrown. Previously an |
| | error was emitted. |

+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DateTime.__construct(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
try {
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit(1);
}
echo $date->format('Y-m-d');
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$date = date_create('2000-01-01');
if (!$date) {
$e = date_get_last_errors();
foreach ($e['errors'] as $error) {
echo "$error
";
}
exit(1);
}
echo date_format($date, 'Y-m-d');
?>
The above examples will output:
2000-01-01
Example #2
Intricacies of DateTime.__construct(3)
<?php
// Specified date/time in your computer's time zone.
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
// Specified date/time in the specified time zone.
$date = new DateTime('2000-01-01', new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
// Current date/time in your computer's time zone.
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
// Current date/time in the specified time zone.
$date = new DateTime(null, new DateTimeZone('Pacific/Nauru'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
// Using a UNIX timestamp. Notice the result is in the UTC time zone.
$date = new DateTime('@946684800');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
// Non-existent values roll over.
$date = new DateTime('2000-02-30');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:sP') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
2000-01-01 00:00:00-05:00
2000-01-01 00:00:00+12:00
2010-04-24 10:24:16-04:00
2010-04-25 02:24:16+12:00
2000-01-01 00:00:00+00:00
2000-03-01 00:00:00-05:00
