Current time stamp= 1739195161
php time stamp generator to find the time stamp of any date
To display current time stamp we have to use time() function like this .<?Php
echo time();
?>
echo date(" H:i:s", time());
The output is here 19:16:01
JavaScript we can display real time changing clock
Show current time & date by using localtime function in PHP
Here is the current time stamp again : 1739195161echo date("m/d/y",time())
Here is the output showing current date and month value using the above timestamp.
02/10/25
$tdtp=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",time());
Here is the output 2025-02-10 19:16:01
You can find detail php date today functions and php date formats in other tutorials in this section.
date("d/m/y : H:i:s", time());
the out put of this will be like this : 10/02/25 : 19:16:01
Don't forget to refresh this page to see how the value changes.
date_default_timezone_set ("Asia/Calcutta");
date_default_timezone_set ("America/Denver");
You can create two demo pages to understand concept of Time stamp.
Using html meta page refresh, create page which will reload itself at every 10 seconds and display the updated timestamp.
Try to display the timestamp in every 10 second duration without reloading the page. ( Use Ajax )

pretty interesting tutorial but i have a nota .. while # echo time() # displays current time-stamp, # echo date("m/d/y",time()) # displays current time in the SERVER, e.g. her it s GMT - 6 so to display a GMT current time we have to add a sum of 6*60*60 to the time-stamp .. |

Use small ( lower case ) h in place of upper case H. You can read more on date formats. |

You are a life saver buddy but one more thing, How do I store a Timestamp into mysql database so it can later be retrieved as Timestamp? |
Anantha Narayanan | 29-04-2011 |
Hi, This was very helpful, I have a doubt in mysql timezones and time-format, see i have a table in DB which has 2 important column which is location and timestamp, in which location can be anything, but i want the timestamp to be same format as it generated, since we have customers from different timezones, which i want the timestamp to be saved as it is, say if GMT it should saved as GMT, if it is pacific , it has to saved as PACIFIC, Kinldy help me with your suggestions |

how can i display the current dynamic time without refreshing the current page |
smo | 09-07-2015 |
One way is using JavaScript to display clock from client side ( not server time ), you can check the tutorial on <a href=../javascript_tutorial/clock.php>dynamic clock</a>. There are links at end of the tutorial to show you how to collect server side time and display. |

You just solved a problem that i spent 3 days searching everywhere. Thanks a lot! |
DAVISON PHIRI | 08-11-2016 |
thinks for the time and date function, this function is really working but what am looking for is that: certain div part should refresh it safe after certain interval of the time. |

You can display real time clock by using JavaScript. If you want to display server side time with refresh rate then you can use Ajax or JQuery. |
