how to capture a server's date?

[Anon]

Hi..

I'm very new in PHP and I got a problem. How can I capture/get the date on any particular server using its IP add or simply domain name..

I want to capture this date (for each day.. making this a variable) and somehow make sure that a page running on another server reads this date and display thsi date instead of one of the server it's running.. it may sound confusing but due to the time zone difference my boss wants me to crack this code up..

I've seacrhed high and low but couldnt really crack it up..

I hope you guys can help.. I'm desperate..

Thanks a load.

Your problem can be solved with JavaScript's Date object. You can make your page display the client's time.

I don't know any particular web site, however if you'll search on google you will definitely find some JavaScript objects reference.
