    Inserting a "date and time"

    Is there a way to display the current date and time on my home page?

    Your homepage needs to be made into a php page.

    Create a html box and insert the code below

    <?=date('F j Y g:i A')?>


    If you want to change the date and time formatting visit
    PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.

    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

      Hi watdaflip, is there a way to have this code not work on the server time. It shows a 6 hour time dif in the UK.

      Thanks.

        Umm, I am not aware of a built in function, I believe you have to do

        <?=date('F j Y g:i A', time()+(3600*6))?>

        The format being
        <?=date('F j Y g:i A', time()[+ or -](3600*[hours to add or subtract]))?>

        Register/Login Script

          This was perfect <?=date('F j Y g:i A', time()+(3600*6))?> & is a nice 7.15am in the uk. I will have a look through the site you left a link to, to see if there is anything about the hour we loose for winter & summertime savings in the UK.
          Must admit i am not sure if other contrys have this or not.


          Cheers.
          Regards Chris.

            You can tell if the current day is daylight savings by doing this

            if(date('I'))
            {
            // The time is daylights saving
            }
            else
            {
            // The time is normal
            }

            And adjust the date accordingly. I believe the time adjustment will different depending if you are in the north or south hemisphere. But all you would have to do is and place it in the if else statement above

            <?=date('F j Y g:i A', time()+(3600*(6+ or - 1)))?>
