Display current time using PHP
Display time using PHP
Today, I will tell you how to display current time in this format : HH:MM:SS ( Hours:Minutes:Seconds )
We will use PHP’s Built in Function : time(); and another one : date(); in a combination to set our time according to our Time Zone.
The most easiest example is :
PHP Code :
date("h:i:s");
Which prints(for me) : 12:08:28
This is the thing we want, however, we we will make some edits in this code to set it according to our timezone.
PHP Code:
<?php
$time_offset ="0"; // Change this to your time zone
$time_a = ($time_offset * 120);
$time = date("h:i:s",time() + $time_a);
echo 'Current time is : '.$time;
?>
This code, for me, prints : Current time is : 12:13:31
So guys, You can use this little snippet of PHP Code to display current time, or, you can try some of these combinations and modify the above scirpt to get the results you want:
PHP Code:
<?php
// Assuming today is: June 13th, 2008, 12:14:18 pm
$time = date(”F j, Y, g:i a”); // June 13, 2008, 12:16 pm
$time = date(”m.d.y”); // 06.13.08
$time = date(”j, n, Y”); // 13, 6, 2008
$time = date(”Ymd”); // 20080613
$time = date(’h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day z ‘); // 12-16-41, 13-06-08, 1630 1641 5 Fripm08 164
$time = date(’\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.’); // It is the 13th day.
$time = date(”D M j G:i:s T Y”); // Fri Jun 13 12:17:06 PKT 2008
$time = date(’H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h’); // 12:06:18 m is month
$time = date(”H:i:s”); // 12:17:32
?>
So, keep practicing with different combination

@Sridhar : You can use it like this :
< ?php
if (isset($_POST['submit-button-name']))
{
// do the functions to display time..
}
?>
Hope it helps.
