How to Display Current Time (hh:mm)

Hi,

I want to display current time on a web page in this format hh:mm (like 19:07)

Only hour and minute. How can I do this?

 

date("H:i", time());

PHP:

 

Yep You got this covered.

So if you wanted to display the time on the page then i would be:
<?php echo date("H:i", time()); ?>

If you wanted to put in into a variable you should be able to do:
<?php $currentTime = date("H:i", time()); ?>

Then you could just put it in a database or do whatever you wanted with it.

 

You don''t need to add time() as the second argument, because it is the default parameter.

So

echo date('H:i');

PHP:

will work fine

You can find more info about it on http://hu2.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

 

Thanks all, I guess I should have visited http://tr.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php before asking. But we all are here to ask and learn, right? I also learned strtotime() function which allows to get the timezone difference into account. Here is the function I'm using now:

date('Y.m.d, H:i', strtotime('now + 3 hours'))
