localtime()
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] => 8
[1] => 13
[2] => 17
[3] => 26
[4] => 3
[5] => 124
[6] => 5
[7] => 116
[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] => 8
[tm_min] => 13
[tm_hour] => 17
[tm_mday] => 26
[tm_mon] => 3
[tm_year] => 124
[tm_wday] => 5
[tm_yday] => 116
[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] => 8
[tm_min] => 43
[tm_hour] => 22
[tm_mday] => 26
[tm_mon] => 3
[tm_year] => 124
[tm_wday] => 5
[tm_yday] => 116
[tm_isdst] => 0
)
