gmt

This sounds simple enough but I haven't been able to figure out how to use a simple SELECT statement to return the current time in GMT. I have been trying to use CONVERT_TZ() to convert NOW() to GMT based on the server time zone and the GMT time zone but for some reason it returns NULL when I put in the text time zones. The only way I get a result is to actually put in the offsets which is getting way too complicated for what should be a really simple operation. Here is what I mean: mysql> SELECT CONVERT_TZ(NOW(),@@global.system_time_zone,'GMT'); NULL mysql> SELECT CONVERT_TZ(NOW(),'PST','GMT'

I want to get the current date in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format. I have tried: gmdate('yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss \G\M\T', time()); Its returning a wierd date: 13131313-1111-2323 0707:1111:3131 You don't have to repeat those format identifiers . For yyyy you just need to have Y , etc. gmdate('Y-m-d h:i:s \G\M\T', time()); In fact you don't even need to give it a default time if you want current time gmdate('Y-m-d h:i:s \G\M\T'); // This is fine for your purpose Manual You can get that list of identifiers Here vijaykumar Try this Check this How do i get the gmt time in php date_default_timezone_set("UTC"

I want to know if there can be 2 or more GMT timezones for one city or state. I know there can be more then one GMT timezone for a country, but not sure if it's for state and city too. Share your knowledge please. Interpreting the question to mean 'are there any cities which are in more than one time zone', then the answer is 'yes'. And there are American states with multiple time zones (Indiana and Arizona being two of them). There has been recent discussion on the TZ mailing list about the area of China known as Xinjiang, which has a mixed population of Han Chinese and of Uyghurs. It seems

new Date支持的参数： MDN： new Date ( ) ; new Date ( value ) ; new Date ( dateString ) ; new Date ( year , month , day , hour , minute , second , millisecond ) ; MSDN： dateObj = new Date() dateObj = new Date(dateVal) dateObj = new Date(year, month, date[, hours[, minutes[, seconds[,ms]]]]) 不过在MSDN中把dateVal看成了MDN中参数为value和dateString的合集。实际上是一样的。 对于无参数和多参数的使用方法除了month参数是从0开始计算之外没有什么特殊用法。 如果参数为数字时代表从1970年1月1日算起的毫秒数： Integer value representing the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC (Unix Epoch）。 最麻烦，但是使用起来也是最方便的字符串参数，在MDN中： The string should be in a format recognized by the Date

I have a calendar built in JavaScript that compares dates with PHP. The JavaScript date object is set using PHP, but, when I compare future dates, they appear to be out of sync. PHP is set to GMT and JavaScript is set to UTC; how do these standards differ, and could this be causing the problem? From Coordinated Universal Time on Wikipedia: Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is a time standard based on International Atomic Time (TAI) with leap seconds added at irregular intervals to compensate for the Earth's slowing rotation. From Greenwich Mean Time on Wikipedia: UTC is an atomic time scale

UNIX timestamp always in GMT? I tried to run php function time() and when I tried to convert the unix timestamp from the time() function, the output is not similar to the computer time. Thank You zerkms yep, UNIX timestamp represents how much seconds past from unix-time epoch in GMT+0 UNIX timestamp (A.K.A. Unix's epoch) means elapsed seconds since January 1st 1970 00:00:00 UTC (Universal Time). So , if you need the time in a specific TimeZone, you should convert it. Even though is technically possible, I would recommend alternative ways to get current time (or any other time), such as getdate
