AndyB Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 This will get you started. You might prefer to use the GMT functions. Allow for the offset between your local time and the time zone for your server.[code]$day_of_the_week = date("W"); // Sunday=0, Monday=1 etc.$hour_of_the_day = date("G");// 0-23[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7010-get-current-time/#findComment-25467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpower Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks AndyI was going at it in a for more complicated manner....not separating the days and the hours. I looked at your response and thought...bloody hell hes missed the point!BUT...as ever....I was wrong and when I re-read it....the obvious became clear.If only comon sennse was common practice.Thanks MateWill Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7010-get-current-time/#findComment-25474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Yup, sometimes all it takes is another way of looking at the problem. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/7010-get-current-time/#findComment-25479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
