PHP Javascript Datetime

Lets make it simple.

Have you somehow found yourself wondering what is the best way to store datetime on MySQL, and using it on PHP – JS?

 

Here what I prefer to do :

Rather than using formatted datetime and have to reformat when you encounter different format, I prefer using unix timestamp.

Javascript has capability to convert date to integer, which return in miliseconds since January 1st, 1970

var d = (new Date()).getTime();

PHP has capability to convert date to integer, which return in seconds since January 1st, 1970

$d = date(‘U’);

Mercedes Benz W124

W124

W124 from Wikipedia

Everything started when I stumbled an W124 article on carlustblog, it encourage me to track all the predecessors, and fell in love to them.

This particular model has no aging looks, eventhough its design already more than 2 decades. I believe people stil considered this car as modern rather than classic.

I considered that W124 is a role model for car nowadays, most of its standard feature is a requirement for present car, such as Airbag, Power Steering, ABS, Aerodynamics, etc…

Simple Flight Simulator

Flight Simulator Picture

Wanna play? click here.

Since Google Earth Plugin for browser is released, It encourage me to try develop a flight simulator similar with the one that available at Google Earth API Demo Gallery.  Mini Flight Sim by James Stafford was so fun to play with, but it doesnt allow us to tilt the plane (gain altitude).

Unfortunately it was not so simple, the script is quite confusing due to lots of 3D mathematics.

Especially to create a camera that follow the plane, everything should be calculated on 3D, so it could be realistic.

Without further talk, here I present my Simple Flight Simulator.

The 3D plane model are using Sail Plane at LKKV Airport which modified.

it was not perfect yet, still need further enhancement, especially when plane kept roll on certain degrees, it has to fly in circle, but I have not found the solution yet. Anyone can help me?
