Server time

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask this question, but please advise

 

<?php
echo "time=" . time();
?>

 

does the time change when viewing in other countries?

E.g. Is echo the same when viewed in China, US, New Zealand?

 

Thanks!

Returns the current time measured in the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch (January 1 1970 00:00:00 GMT).

 

Therefore, it always returns GMT.

Sorry - I'm 13 in few days time.

 

Everything what I know is from my mistakes and from form experts like you. Also do you expect someone to read the manual for any simple question? Then why are the forums are for?

 

Anyway... from recent time most of the experts tend to just point to the MANUAL - but I personally feel there should be some guide to the question + a link to the correct page on the Manual. That helps creating more experts to the world much quicker.

 

p.s. you were me few years ago - How happy would you have been when someone helps you get the code working and understand how it works - specially if you did this when you are 13!

YES!

Did you notice under the quote where I typed "Therefore it always returns GMT"?

 

I simply posted the quote from the manual so you'd understand why my answer was what it was. Understanding is the most important part of learning.

Pikachu2000: Thank you sir!

 

BlueSkyIS: Ok - so your idea is different to mine on this.

Age is not a consideration.

The manual should be your first point of call. It has nearly all the answers and you don't have to wait for it to respond.

 

Then why are the forums are for?

 

IMO, forums are for more complex issues. Asking how a function works is NOT a complex issue.

And yes, I know the manual can be confusing for a beginner. However it really is a great resource, and the more you read it, and the more you understand the syntax, the easier it becomes.

When people point me to the manual my general reaction is.. "Do'h!"

Sure you're young, but don't get used to being spoon fed answers. Seek them out, read the manual. That is what helps you learn a lot more.
