We can get local time with date, month year etc. ( array output ) by using localtime() function in PHP.
Here is the syntax.
localtime();
Example code
print_r(localtime());
The output of above code is here
Array
(
[0] => 55
[1] => 35
[2] => 4
[3] => 1
[4] => 6
[5] => 122
[6] => 5
[7] => 181
[8] => 0
)
We can get better output by using is_associative to true. We will get a set of keys and associated data. Here is an example.
print_r(localtime(time(),true));
The output is here. Array
(
[tm_sec] => 55
[tm_min] => 35
[tm_hour] => 4
[tm_mday] => 1
[tm_mon] => 6
[tm_year] => 122
[tm_wday] => 5
[tm_yday] => 181
[tm_isdst] => 0
)
We can change the time zone set and check the return like this.
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
print_r(localtime(time(),true));
The ouput is hereArray
(
[tm_sec] => 55
[tm_min] => 5
[tm_hour] => 10
[tm_mday] => 1
[tm_mon] => 6
[tm_year] => 122
[tm_wday] => 5
[tm_yday] => 181
[tm_isdst] => 0
)
