PHP - Convert Utc To A Local Time Zone?

Having a problem since the time change of 1 hour.

Times now show 2:08 when it is 3:08

I am using:
Code: [Select]
date_default_timezone_set('EST');

date('g:i a');

Any way to fix this to show corrent time?

Hi
My code was working perfectly when my hosting company located in Japan. But i transfer to US(hostgator) and now my time zone changes asia/tokyo to America/Chicago. Therefore, all my codes, scripts and sites are following one day behind of Japan local time.
Great appreciate for any help. My code is below:


<?php

$host = "localhost";
$user = "user";
$pass = "pass";
$data = "mysql_db";

$cn     = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db($data, $cn) or die("Could not Connect Database Please Try again later !!!");
mysql_query("set names utf-8", $cn);

if(date("H:i:s") < '03:00:00') // Changes midnight 00:00:00 to 03:00:00
          $midnight = 1;
else
          $midnight = 0;

       $TODAY__ = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("n"), date("d") - $midnight, date("Y"));
       date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Tokyo');
?>

I am sorry I have absolutely no idea where this question fits in this forum bcoz its related to PHP , MySQL and Javascript... 

So here is my question ..

I use MySql database to store posts.. where 'postdate and time' is saved using  'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' of MySql that offcourse gives "2010-08-31 09:47:10" format...

When I have to calculate when the post was posted just before loading the posts on users wall e.g.

"2 min ago"...

I take the 'postdate and time' from database then use strtotime() function in php to convert it to string you know since jan 1 1970.

Now this time stamp is sent to javascript function which uses 'Date' Object to create current time and then 'getTime' to get the string like one Mentioned earlier. it then calculates the difference and displays it..

Just to inform you.. I used javascript to I may refresh "posted since" periodically using "SetInterval()"

But the problem here arises. There is difference of 1 Hour and 24 Sec in both times.......

  Sorry If I confused you... But the problem is simple. In javascript date object and MySql  --> strtotime()
there is time difference...

How I can correct it ???


please Help ...

Codes:

1. function to convert str to time


function change($date){

$time_early=strtotime($date);

return $time_early;


}



 

2. javascript Code to check "Post Since"



function calc_difference() {

$("[name=posttime]").each(function() {

 var current=$(this).attr("id");
  localtimevalue = new Date();
d = localtimevalue.getTime();

         
 
 var d= parseInt(d)/1000;
 var diff=d-parseInt(current);  

 var diff=parseInt(diff);
 var min=parseInt(diff/60);         
 var hours=parseInt(diff/3600);
var days=parseInt(diff/86400);
var months=parseInt(diff/2592000);
var years=parseInt(diff/31104000);


if( min==0 ){ 


$(this).text("Posted: "+diff +" seconds ago ");

}



if(min>0 && hours==0 && days==0 && months==0){ 
if(min==1){
 $(this).text("Posted:  a minute ago ");
        
}else{
 
$(this).text("Posted: "+min +" minutes ago ");
}

}

if(min>0 && hours>0 && days==0 && months==0){ 

if(hours==1){
 $(this).text("Posted:  an hour ago ");
        
}else{
 
$(this).text("Posted: "+hours +" hours ago ");
}



}

if(days>0 && months==0 && years==0){ 


if(days==1){
 $(this).text("Posted:  a day ago ");
        
}else{
 
$(this).text("Posted: "+days +" days ago ");
}



}



if(months>0 && years==0 ){ 


if(months==1){
 $(this).text("Posted:  a month ago ");
        
}else{
 
$(this).text("Posted: "+months +" months ago ");
}



}


if(years>0){ 


if(years==1){
 $(this).text("Posted:  a year ago ");
        
}else{
 
$(this).text("Posted: "+years +" years ago ");
}



}








  });


   
}






 
Javascript function is called on load and Jquery's .each function is used to update all post's time.


 

By using the function date_default_timezone_set() I am trying to set my timezone. Do I have to change anything else in any other files like php.ini?

Are time zones when calling the date function automatically decided based on where you live? Or is that something that I have to implement--Because the time is wrong according to my time zone.

Purpose: To get time zone of a remote file in my time zone. I have to download a file daily (mp3, don't worry its legal!) from BBC. Problem is that sometimes BBC doesn't update the file and i have to download entire file to check if it has been updated or not. Hence i decided to code a page that gives me date and time of that remote file. I have successfully compiled the code (that i got from internet). But the time returns in EST. I want the time in IST (indian std time Asia/Calcutta). CURLINFO_FILETIME has bee used. Below is code.

Pls suggest me how to convert EST to IST - Warning: I am a newbie. But i can follow instructions

Code: [Select]
<?php
$curl = curl_init('http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/hindi/tx/32mp3/din_bhar.mp3');

//don't fetch the actual page, you only want headers
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);

//stop it from outputting stuff to stdout
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// attempt to retrieve the modification date
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, true);

$result = curl_exec($curl);

if ($result === false) {
    die (curl_error($curl)); 
}

$timestamp = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME);
if ($timestamp != -1) { //otherwise unknown
    echo "BBC Hindi was last modified" . date("d-m-Y h:i:s A T", $timestamp); //etc
} ?>


I have used it with custom getRemoteFileSize function he -

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
The time is 09:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 09:55:39

 

Expected Output

Server Time 21-05-21 10:55:39
The time is 10:55:39am
Current time1: 2021-05-21 10:55:3

 

Any help would be appreciated.

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.

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 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();?

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 have a string in php:
