PHP - Convert Server Time To Local Time
PHP 5.2.6
We rent PHP server space on a server in California. Several of my pages generated by PHP show the current date and time, so when the page is printed, the user knows when the data was printed. Our users could be anywhere in the US, I am in Michigan. How do I convert the server time (PDT) into local time, regardless of where the user is? Thanks. Similar TutorialsI have all the dates stored in my database as UTC and I want to retrieves these UTC date/time to show the local time zone. So, example, If I live in New York, I want it to show east coast time zone and not the Universal Time. Any idea? im wondering is there any easy way to echo server time and local time... without converting them from unix to timestamp i have found thi code, but i cant tell is it server or local Code: [Select] echo date("H:i" ,time()); Hello Everyone, I am on windows server and In my ini file server time zone declared as below
[server_settings] but my application installed on another timezone eg: 'America/Los_Angeles' time zone. using date_default_timezone_get() i am always getting Europe/London timezone as it's declared in ini file. How to get local timezone(wherever application is installed) here? Thanks Krish PHP date and time function is not showing correct time on my local system I have the following php code date_default_timezone_set("Africa/Lagos"); $date = date('d-m-y h:i:s'); echo "Server Time ".$date ."<br>"; echo "The time is " . date("h:i:sa")."<br>"; $current_datetime = date("Y-m-d") . ' ' . date("H:i:s", STRTOTIME(date('h:i:sa'))); echo "Current time1: ".$current_datetime . "<br>";
Output
Server Time 21-05-21 09:55:39
Expected Output
Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
Any help would be appreciated. Edited May 21 by Ponel Hi, The hosting provider for my domain confirm me that the server time is in EST (UTC-5). They also sent me a grab supporting that Code: [Select] server time is now: ---------------------- Sun Nov 7 02:20:01 EST 2010 ------------------- But when I use the following code, the output I get is has 1 hr difference (UTC-6) echo date("d M, Y h:i:s A",time()); Output==> 07 Nov, 2010 01:20:01 AM But it suppose to give the same time as the server, ryt? Can anybody please explain? Thanks, Hey, I'm trying to code a page which is supposed to bring up the time of a person's computer. Is this possible without majorly complicated coding? I'm good with GMT offsets and stuff but I don't know how to get the time of a person's computer. I don't want other stuff, just the time so I can edit the time based on where they are. I don't know if I'm making sense so here's an example... If someone does a forum post at 2pm Sydney time but it's 5pm Perth time. How can I make it so that someone in Perth sees 5pm but someone in Sydney sees 2pm...without them manually telling me their timezone? I read about using IP addresses but don't know much (Ok anything) about this , any hints or good sites to view would be appreciated? Or the answer if it's not too complex. Preferably I'd like to get the time in the 11 digit "time()" format so I can use it in tables and translate it with an existing function. IceKat I am trying to get local date/time. In my php file I am setting my timezone using $timezone = "America/Toronto"; putenv ('TZ=' . $timezone); Then I use the following to get current date and time print_r (getdate()); but my date displays in GMT, What am I doing wrong? As in the code above I am in Toronto and I need EST. I have a form that submits G How can I convert this to string of time when I need to insert it into the database and then turn it back around when it needs to be read? <option>11:00 AM</option> <option>11:30 AM</option> <option>12:00 PM</option> <option>12:30 PM</option> <option>1:00 PM</option> <option>1:30 PM</option> Thank you. Is it possible to convert time(); to date();? How to output a MySQL timestamp field to correct local time with daylight saving with PHP?
Local time is set in php.ini with: date.timezone = "Europe/London"
Confirmed set with: <?php echo date_default_timezone_get(); ?>
But when I echo the timestamp field it does not display correct UK time for the record (an hour behind correct UK time).
<?php echo date('jS F Y - g:ia', strtotime($row['Date'])); ?>
I have a string in php: Quote Sat, 28 Apr 2012 05:09:45 GMT I want to convert it to timestamp Example: 1335594473 2011-02-05T18:07:57.00+0000 This is a string. Hello, i need a fast convertor that converts the date format 03-03-2008, 08:26 PM into a timestamp fast. Like, you paste 03-03-2008, 08:26 PM into a post form, submit and it gives you the time stamp. I made a convertor a whille ago, but you need to insert each numbers into a separate input box (day, months, year etc) I cant remember how exactly it functions etc asi haventtouched PHP In a while..... I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but please advise <?php echo "time=" . time(); ?> does the time change when viewing in other countries? E.g. Is echo the same when viewed in China, US, New Zealand? Thanks! I just recalled using date(); time() for lots of things in my database, including post times etc. At first I simply assumed this used server time or something, but when I changed my PC's time, it changed ! Now, shortly after this I simply assumed this was because of me using a localhost? But I am not certain anymore.. If I would place this online, would date() and time() return you server time or user time? I couldnt find it on google =-( I am using this php to write to a text file to show me who has logged in and when: Code: [Select] <?php $time = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME']; $myusername = $_POST['myusername']; $data = "$REQUEST_TIME\n"; $data = "$myusername\n"; //open the file and choose the mode $fh = fopen("logs/login.txt", "a") ; fwrite($fh, $data); fwrite($fh, $time); fclose($fh); ?> The result I get in my text file is: paul 1315919200melody 1315919221tracy&graham 1315919232ed&hannah 1315919251 I would feel more successful if the name of the user were to appear on the next line down but I can live with that but I can't make head nor tale of the date. I want it to say: paul 13:59 13/09/2011 next user 14:00 13/09/2011 and so on I feel I have done very well to even get that far really and wouldn't have been able to yesterday. I am frustrated to have reached the extent of my current understanding. If anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong, that would be great. I hope the php isn't too far off, and you can "read between the lines" as it were to see what I'm trying to do. Paul MOD EDIT: code tags added. Is there a way to run a check on the server to see how long it takes for the page to get built, then print it to the screen?
I tried searching for it online for a few minutes, but it wasn't able to be found. All I'm finding on there is how to optimize the pages, but I want a simple time check performed on the page loading
Is there any way to have a field that will update any time its row is updated?
My situation is that I will have multiple devices writing to a database, and in one case the time that is being kept track of is important. And the devices writing to the database are a bit difficult to keep accurate times on, so instead of writing the time from the devices themselves, I was hoping I could just have a field update itself. I know it can be done on INSERT, but I do not want to do an INSERT every time.
Thanks!
I am trying to simulate an ad expiration and carry out an action if the ad is expired. And I cannot get the if/else to work properly... I've tried many variations and I cannot see what I am doing wrong here. Any tips please 3 hours and counting of no solution! $ad_start = time()-14 . "<br />"; // 14 days from today in the past (negative) echo $ad_start; $current_time = time() . "<br />"; // current epoch time echo $current_time; $days_past = $ad_start - $current_time; // days past echo "<br />$days_past days have past since the ad started!<br />"; if($days_past <= 14) { echo "<br />Ad is less than 14 days. Not expired."; } else { echo "<br />Ad is over 14 days. Expired."; } Basically I have recently been playing around with parsing a csv file. What I am looking to do at this point is simply take the date/timestamp (part of the csv file), which is in the following format:DD/MM HH:MM:SS.100th/s For the sake of argument, lets say I have this in an array string called $csv[0] and the file has several lines that span the course of a couple hours. I wouldn't mind having to use explode() to breakup/remove the date or 100th/s IF that would make things a lot simpler. So where would I start in trying to achieve this?. The result I am looking for will simply return "X Seconds". Storing this in a string variable would be a bonus, as I plan to use this to divide a separate piece of information. Any examples or ideas would be great. Thank you. ps: Here is an example time from the csv file itself: Code: [Select] 11/19 22:23:18.143 |
