getdate() showing incorrect [hours], [minutes], [seconds]

varai

Hello

print_r(getdate()) is showing a different [hours] ,[minutes] and [seconds] than my computer's system clock. Does anyone know why this is happening?

thank you.

php is a server side language so its probably showing you the server's time.

If you want the client's time you'll need to use java.

The function you are referring "getdate()" has an argument of time..which is disabled if you don't enter it. and then the input will be "time()" which refers to the server time.

You want to get the time of your computer by other functions and then simply input it in "getdate()" .

yes, both of u are right. I have changed it to javascript. Refering to the net, the following is my code:

Your order was placed on
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var today=new Date();
var day=today.getDate();
var monthNames = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June",
"July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December" ];
var month=monthNames[today.getMonth()];
var year=today.getFullYear();
var hours=today.getHours();
var minutes=today.getMinutes();

var suffix = "AM";
if (hours >= 12) {
suffix = "PM";
hours = hours - 12;
}
if (hours == 0) {
hours = 12;
}

if (minutes<10)
minutes='0'+minutes;

document.write(day+' '+month+', '+year+', '+hours+':'+minutes+' '+suffix+'<br>');
</script>

thank you.

If you "don't know javascript," then how could you know what "must be" ? 🙂

Sometimes I like to pretend that Assembly is my first language... but yes, English is my native tongue. Why do you ask?

because you should then understand that

there must be an easier way to do this,

is a postulate?
