Old date displayed

[madhu]

I used the following code snippet and created header.php

 

I used the include option <?php include "header.php"; ?> to to display the date in other page.

 

Yesterday it displayed "Today is June 06, 2009" correctly. But today my system date is June 07 2009. But the pages still display "Today is June 06, 2009". Why it is displaying the old date. Please help me.

 

Code in header.php

<div align="center"><font size="4">Welcome to my movie review site!</font>

<br>

<?php

echo "Today is ";

echo date("F d");

echo ", ";

echo date("Y");

?>

</div>

Where is your PHP script being ran? If you are running it from your own computer it should be displaying your date. If you are running it from an external server, it will use that server's date. At the time of writing this, it is still June 6th here in the USA, so if you are being hosted by a USA server, then, that date being displayed is quite correct.

Thanks XaeroDegreaz for a quick reply.

 

I am running it on my own machine. Not on any external server.

I also have refresh problem, which i reported under

Both these are interconnected?

If you do the following -

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Does the value change when you refresh the page every 1 second?

[madhu]

When I use

echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

time is getting refreshed for every refresh I give.

 

But I noticed one strange thing. When my system time is 1:40 PM, the time displayed in the page 5:40 AM (Now the date displayed is June 07, 2009). How come this difference arise ?

[Ken2k7]

My guess is that your server's timezone is different than the one on your computer.

If there's an 8-hour difference and you want it to display your time you can use:

 

date('whatever format', time()+3600*;
