I have a Javascript script which gets your local time. Not sure how to do it in php.

 

But this might help. http://php.net/manual/en/function.getdate.php

This should help

PHP time() and date() function

<?php 
$b = time (); 
echo date("m/d/y",$b) . "<br>"; 
echo date("D, F jS",$b) . "<br>"; 
echo date("l, F jS Y",$b) . "<br>"; 
echo date("g:i A",$b) . "<br>"; 
echo date("r",$b) . "<br>"; 
echo date("g:i:s A D, F jS Y",$b) . "<br>"; 
?>

The date and time you get from PHP is going to be the server's time.  If you want the clients local time you have two options:

 

1) Have the user set their timezone and then figure it out based on the server's time.  The [m=datetime]DateTime class[/m] makes this pretty easy.

2) Obtain the date/time using Javascript code and it's Date object.
