acquiring date and time

if the clock on a users computer says 7:11pm on the 25 september 2008 how do i get php to recognise this and print that time into a text file

think you'll need java script for that- php is server side, and therefore doesnt really have anything to do with the end users computer - it just sends them a load of code. Therefore, if you change your clock where you are, php will still look at the clock on the server that it's running on to get a time stamp.

you would need javascript (which is client side) if you wanted to get information from the end users clock, and i'm not sure how to do that. SOrry!

in that case how would i get javascript to pass on the time and date to php to that php could put it in a text file
