retrieve current date

[chxxangie]

$current_date     = date('Y-m-d');
$current_time    = date('G:i:s');
$current_time    = date('G:i:s', strtotime("+8 hours", strtotime($current_time))); 

 

now i can retrieve the current time. but how to retrieve the current date...?

thanks in advance...

That code does not return the current date? The first line of your code is the current date....so how is that not returning the current date?

ok... like now in my country, the date is 2009-01-10.

but when i echo the first line, the date is 2009-01-09.

so how to make it when the time + 8 hours, the date will be auto adjusted to 2009-01-10...?

I think you are looking for

putenv("TZ=YOUR_TIME_ZONE");

 

www.php.net/putenv

just use this line before you echo current date.

putenv("TZ=Europe/Amsterdam"); // To return time+date of Amsterdam
$current_date     = date('Y-m-d');
echo $current_date;

this is a new knowledge for me... it can display the date and time as well... and i don't need to do extra calculation to add 8 hours for the time.

thanks for your helping... thank you so much!!!
