PHP time

[Lateralus138]

Hello, I have page a friend of mine uses as a personal homepage for her browser that I made and I have recently added a time thing with this code:

 

<?php
$name=("Gerfel");
$d=date("D");
$t="Have a nice day" . " " . $_POST["name"] ."!";
?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
  Name:
  <input type="text" name="name" />
  <input style="position:relative;top:6px;" type="image" src="images/submit.png" alt="sub" />
</form>
<?php
echo "<table><tr><td>";
echo date("m/d/Y");
echo "</td></tr></table>";
?>
<?php
echo "Today is $d!"
?>
<br />
<?php
if ($d=="Fri")
  echo "Have a nice weekend" . " " . $name ."!";
elseif ($d=="Sat")
  echo "Have a nice Saturday!" . " " . $name ."!";
elseif ($d=="Sun")
  echo "Have a nice Sunday!" . " " . $name ."!";
elseif ($d=="Mon")
  echo $t;
elseif ($d=="Tue")
  echo $t;
elseif ($d=="Wed")
  echo $t;
elseif ($d=="Thu")
  echo $t;
?>
<br />
<br />

 

She lives in the Philippines and I want to be able to set the time 14 hours ahead, is there a way to just add 14 hours to what is here. I don't want to go through the trouble of having to have her sign in. I am new to this so please don't laugh if my code is amateur and messed up, lol.

date_default_timezone_set

uM.. OK. Do I put this code before my code? I imagine it is checking for the time zone first?

Yes, put this code before your code.

date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Manila');

 

I imagine it is checking for the time zone first?

No, it is doesn't checking, it's just setting default timezone.

This will give you the time in the Philippines on any server. No need to set timezones, just use as is. If you want a different format just format the same as you would with date().

 

gmdate('m/d/Y h:i:s A',strtotime('+8 hour'))
