What Time Is It?

[phpretard]

The Code Below Printed this:

 

Monday, May 19, 2008 1211258618

 

I think  >>>1211258618<<<  that is supposed to be the time.

 

So what is the time or how the heck do you translate that into human time?

 

 

$t=time();
echo($t . "<br />");
echo(date("D F d Y",$t));

That code, as it's written, could not product that output.

 

<?php
$t=time();
echo($t . "<br />");
echo(date("D F d Y",$t));
?>

would produce something like

1211259067
Tue May 20 2008

The first number "1211259067" is the UNIX timestamp of "right now". The string is that time stamp turned into something readable.

use

echo date(DATE_RFC822);

;   I believe that big number is seconds since some date in 1970.

Time has it's own letters and such...

 

a= Lowercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem(am or pm)

A= Uppercase Ante meridiem and Post meridiem(AM or PM)

g= 12-hour format of an hour without leading zeros(1 through 12)

G= 24-hour format of an hour without leading zeros(0 through 23)

h= 12-hour format of an hour with leading zeros(01 through 12)

H= 24-hour format of an hour with leading zeros(00 through 23)

i= Minutes with leading zeros(00 to 59)

s= Seconds, with leading zeros(00 through 59)

u= Milliseconds (added in PHP 5.2.2)  Example: 54321

 

To write this:

date('h:i:s A') = 03:12:46 PM

 

You get the idea. Hope this helped!

http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_date_time.asp  <-- is where I got it from

 

It certainly puts out "Monday, May 19, 2008 1211258618" exactly.

 

Let me rephrase the question...

 

I want to echo The date and time.  What is the best way to do such?

[phpretard]

Oh... I get it Ken  -  the number is some weird form of the date.

[Ne.OnZ]

I think you should read this page:

 

http://us.php.net/date

 

On that page it shows some examples a little down the page. To print the date and time, you could do something like this:

 

echo date('l jS \of F Y h:i:s A'); = Monday 8th of August 2005 03:12:46 PM

 

^From the link above. You can move around the letters to have it appear as you want.

<?php
$t=time();
echo($t . "<br />");
echo(date("D F d, Y g:i:s",$t));
?>
