Display time?

[iBuddy]

Im trying to just have a simple script that will tell the current time in my time zone......anyone help?

I found this script that works however I just cant get it to echo anything.....

<?

function format_date($date) 
    { 

    $year = substr($date, 0, 4); 
    $month = substr($date, 4, 2); 
    $day = substr($date, 6, 2); 
    $hour = substr($date, 8, 2);
    if ($hour >= 12)
      {
      $daytime = 'PM';
      }
      else
      {
      $daytime = 'AM';
      }

    $minute = substr($date, 10, 2); 
    $second = substr($date, 12, 2);
    if ($hour == '12') 
            { $hour = '12'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '13') 
            { $hour = '1';} 
        elseif ($hour == '14') 
            { $hour = '2'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '15') 
            { $hour = '3'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '16') 
            { $hour = '4'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '17') 
            { $hour = '5'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '18') 
            { $hour = '6'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '19') 
            { $hour = '7'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '20') 
            { $hour = '8'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '21') 
            { $hour = '9'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '22') 
            { $hour = '10'; } 
        elseif ($hour == '23') 
            { $hour = '11'; } 

	$date = $month . '/' . $day . '/' . $year . " $hour:$minute:$second $daytime"; 
    return $date; 
}   



 echo format_date('20031021025523');

?>

Why are you doing all of this?

echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s A");

[iBuddy]

okay see but that works...it displays the time.....but the wrong time...it displays the time of the server.....i need the actual time of my time

[LordShryku]

Use putenv() to change the timezone. Like, I'm in Arizona, so I'd just put this at the top of the script

putenv("TZ=America/Phoenix");

[iBuddy]

ohh thats awesome.....what do I do for Colorado? Same one?

[iBuddy]

awesome i got it to work thanks so much!

[LordShryku]

Try Denver

[iBuddy]

one more thing how do i save this as a variable? To pass in a form?

[LordShryku]

$var = date("m/d/Y h:i:s A");

Or i doing it as an input

<input type="hidden" name="var" value="<?=date("m/d/Y h:i:s A");?>">

[iBuddy]

   putenv("TZ=America/Phoenix");
$timeit = echo date ("l dS of F Y h:i:s A");   

That doesnt save as a variable...any ideas?

[iBuddy]

great that worked! THANKS!
