Time Display in PHP

[GrumpyBum84]

Hi All,

 

Hopefully there is a simple solution but I cannot get the time display working on an Application I am building.

Well, this works but not the way I want it too

 

I have done the following,

 

$date=getdate();

$time="$date[hours]:$date[minutes]";

 

However, when it is say 11:07pm

I get the following when I print this to HTML ("print $time;"),

 

23:7

 

I have googled this but I am having trouble working out how to ensure this displays '23:07' instead.

And I know that I could write code to detect the 1 char length and add a '0' in the front, but I was hoping that there is a more simplistic answer to this.

 

This works fine when the minutes selection in 30 or any other number ending in '0', only an issue with the leading 0.

 

Thanks in advance.

Take a look at date.
