PHP - Retrieving And Formating Mysql Timestamp Field To Local Time
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'])); ?>
Similar TutorialsHey guys & gals, i have the following code: Code: [Select] <?php $date= $_SESSION['date']; echo $date; ?> Which is an echo of an earlier page: Code: [Select] <?php $_SESSION['date'] = date("c")?>; How do i format the echo of the first quote code? At present it echo's like so... Quote 2011-03-30T15:43:43+01:00 ...which although is useful for back office purposes, not so easy on the eye for the customer. How can i format so it's like DATE-MONTH-YEAR? I have googled this and there are examples, but none for when echoing a $_SESSION which is where i'm falling flat on my face. I tried this: but it doesn't work :-( Code: [Select] echo $startdate ("F j, Y") Thanks in advance to all who read and reply 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!

Any help would be appreciated. Edited May 21 by Ponel Hi Folks, I understand the basic math to accomplish what I want, at least I think I do I would like to confirm my logic and I need help with the final output format. I am coding a simple browser based, resource type of game. The gamer will select a certain item to produce another item and it will take x time to do it. Here is the basics of what I want, minus the coding to make it look pretty. How do I format $y to show HHH:MM:SS? Code: [Select] $complete = time() + $x; // To show how much time is remaining until completion or complete $y = $complete - time(); if $y > 0 { echo $y; } else { echo "complete"; } 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. hey guys im wondering how you would add or takeaway a hour from a timestamp in a database when trying to select it please?
thank you

This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318312.0 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. 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()); I 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? 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 Any ideas how I can turn "2010-10-20 19:10:56" to 20th October 2010, 19:10 Thanks lots guys, Jake |
