Time conversion with am/pm

[Anon]

I have a site which is located on a server in Nevada (US) but the site will only be accessed from Nebraska (US). When I call time() it's picking up a Pacific time when I need a Central time. So I decided to tweak the function a little bit.

First I did:

$date = date("M d, Y");
$realhour = date("h") + 2;
$realtime = date ("h:i:s A");

print 'The time is '.$realtime.' at last refresh.';

This increased the hour by 2, to get from pacific to central, but after 11:00 AM it went to 12:00 AM and then 13:00 PM, military time.

So I started doing searches through this forum and found an article on how to convert time using GMT. So now I'm using:

$letsgetthetime = date( "M d Y H:i:s A",
mktime(gmdate("H")+6,gmdate("i"),gmdate("s"),gmdate("m"),gmdate("d"),gmdate("Y")));

print 'The time is '.$letsgetthetime.' at last refresh.';

Which gave me the correct time, and not in military time, although A returns as AM when it should be PM. I'm getting 11:30 AM when its really 11:30 PM in US Central Time. Am I doing something wrong? I looked through the php.net documents on time and could only find how to format the actual time and not AM/PM, less I overlooked it...

See if this does the trick.

$adjustedTime = date("M d Y H:i:s A", date() + 60602);

nah 🙁

i get this error when i try that:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for date() in /home/falcov.com/httpdocs/newtime.php on line 3

line 3 is:

$adjustedTime = date("M d Y H:i:s A", date() + 60602);

thx tho

I got it 😃

for those who wish to know, the H was the problem.

$lgtdate = date( "M d Y" );
$lgttime = date( "h:i:s A", mktime(gmdate("h")+6,gmdate("i"),gmdate("s"),gmdate("m"),gmdate("d"),gmdate("Y")));

print 'Today is '.$lgtdate.' and the <br>';
print 'Time is '.$lgttime.' at the last refresh';

Will show:

Today is Mar 22 2002 and the
Time is 12:40:24 PM at the last refresh

in US central time at 12:40 pm.
