You want to change the format it's displayed (like dd-mm-yyyy)?
Then you can do this:

echo "date is: ".date("d-m-Y");
echo "<br>time is: ".date("H:i");

This will display something like this:

date is: 04-01-03
time is: 23:54

If you need more formats, tell me 🙂

setlocale

Maybe there exists a lithuanian locale definition?
Who knows?

setlocale() just returns names in lithuanian language. It is also useful, thanks a lot. However, i need time GMT+2 too....

thanks, but i need only simple

$today = date(F d);
echo "today, $today...blah blah"

It works well, however, it returns server date = USA date. I need european one. It is Jan 03 in USA and Jan 04 In europe now when I'm printing this 🙂 my script still returns Jan 03 and everything works as it would be still Jan 03, While really it is 04 in Europe. Thats all 🙂

<?php
$timeZoneOffset = -4; // offset in hours

$loctime  = mktime(date("h") + $timeZoneOffset,date("i"),date("s"),date("m"),date("d"),date("Y"));
print "Server time: ".date("d-m-Y h:i:s")."<br>\n";
print "TimeZone time (offset: $timeZoneOffset Hours): ".date("d-m-Y h:i:s", $loctime);
