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] => 19
[1] => 30
[2] => 5
[3] => 2
[4] => 3
[5] => 123
[6] => 0
[7] => 91
[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] => 19
[tm_min] => 30
[tm_hour] => 5
[tm_mday] => 2
[tm_mon] => 3
[tm_year] => 123
[tm_wday] => 0
[tm_yday] => 91
[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] => 19
[tm_min] => 0
[tm_hour] => 11
[tm_mday] => 2
[tm_mon] => 3
[tm_year] => 123
[tm_wday] => 0
[tm_yday] => 91
[tm_isdst] => 0
)
