tastech Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I'm trying to get a form working that automatically inserts the current time into field when it's opened i.e. adding record. However I'm having a strange thing happen that I can't work out. Basically if I use the time() function I get (95% of the time) 7 minutes past the hour. So at 14:00 it returns 14:07 and keeps returning 14:07 throughout the hour until 15:00 then it returns 15:07. I can close the form, close the browser but it still has this problem. I've created a plain page with the following <?php $showtime = 0; $showtime = date("H:m", time()); echo $showtime; ?> Every time I refresh this page the time behaves as described above. As I type this I refresh it again. My MS computer shows 14:53 and my unix server shows 14:53 but this function returns 14:07. I don't believe that it's a PC thing or browser thing as I've tried several different PC/Laptops and browsers.
