How to get date and time from server

Question

I want to retrieve date and time from server and according to it do some thing. For this I used following code:

$info = getdate();
$date = $info[\'mday\'];
$         


        

Answer 1

You should set the timezone to the one of the timezones you want.

// set default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); // CDT

$info = getdate();
$date = $info['mday'];
$month = $info['mon'];
$year = $info['year'];
$hour = $info['hours'];
$min = $info['minutes'];
$sec = $info['seconds'];

$current_date = "$date/$month/$year == $hour:$min:$sec";

Or a much shorter version:

// set default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); // CDT

$current_date = date('d/m/Y == H:i:s');
