Author Topic: Showing the time  (Read 1760 times)

Hi, I wonder if you could help me?

I was trying to display the time on my page. I can show pacific time, but I'd like to show the uk time.

Every script I've tried has done it wrong!

It would be good if it could adjust itself to Summertime and normal time.

Thanks!

I hope you know how to do it...

I found a javascript clock on DynamicDrive I don't know if it's what you're looking for, as you posted here and not in the javascript forum.
It basically takes the time from the end user's system clock (and so relies on that being correct) but this should give it the right timezone if this is the object of the exercise.

If not, sorry, ignore the above.

I meant in PHP    

It's going to be put into a chat room so that every message has the time displayed on it. I can do it in Pacific time, but my site is in the UK (and 99% of the visitors are too)

Thanks for looking it up though.

Thanks.

I got it sorted. It was just the time difference that made it harder.

Here is the code.

<?
$hourdiff = "15"; // hours difference between server time and local time
$timeadjust = ($hourdiff * 60 * 60);
$correctdate = date("l, d F Y h:i a",time() + $timeadjust);
print ("$correctdate");
?>
