Hi, I am using windows XP and running a local server on my PC. I am using the following PHP code to generate the current System time: <?php echo date("g:i a", time()) ;?> Code (markup): To my surprise, I see the output as 2:36 pm where as my localtime is 8:08 PM Why is there approx 6.3 hrs of difference b/w my system time and my local server time? Any help will be appreciated Thanx
try using one of the follow formats: <?php // Assuming today is: March 10th, 2001, 5:16:18 pm $today = date("F j, Y, g:i a"); // March 10, 2001, 5:16 pm $today = date("m.d.y"); // 03.10.01 $today = date("j, n, Y"); // 10, 3, 2001 $today = date("Ymd"); // 20010310 $today = date('h-i-s, j-m-y, it is w Day z '); // 05-16-17, 10-03-01, 1631 1618 6 Fripm01 $today = date('\i\t \i\s \t\h\e jS \d\a\y.'); // It is the 10th day. $today = date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); // Sat Mar 10 15:16:08 MST 2001 $today = date('H:m:s \m \i\s\ \m\o\n\t\h'); // 17:03:17 m is month $today = date("H:i:s"); // 17:16:17 ?> PHP:
ok seems i have found a solution: <?php putenv("TZ=Asia/Calcutta");echo date("d M, Y g:i a");?> Code (markup):
