Server Date in PHP?

[Anon]

Dear Reader,

I'm learning PHP (& SQL) besides my school. Have some books. And have some problems where I can't find a solution for in the books!

My problem, I've PostgreSQL on my Debian Linux Server, and I wanna have a 'last-update' function. I don't know if there is a function for PostgreSQL for, but I had an other solution: I create another TABLE with only 1 row and only 1 column and every time there is an 'INSERT query' I wan't to put the Sever Date in that field.. But I don't know if there is a way to fetch the server Date.. probably something like $serverdate ??

Dear ej,

I went to that webpage. I saw how to use the timestamp. But how to 'recieve' the time on the webserver in PHP.. Sorry if this is a very simple question. 🙁

try running this script on your server:

<?php
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
?>

that'll print out the current date on your server. then all you have to do is insert that into mysql. or.. you can just use a mysql timestamp.

btw, i see you're dutch.. so it might be better to use:

setlocale ("LC_TIME", "dutch");
$time = strftime("%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S");
echo $time;

Dear Ej,

It's better, thank you! Because in my content is the word 18th of August 2001 a bit too English/American 🙂
