This might be one of the stupidest question but....ok this is my code
date("l, M-d-Y, H:i:s")
but somehow the output shows when I run it through my computer instead of a server
Saturday, Feb-16-2013, 00:21:49
and my computer time is actually
Friday, Feb-15-2013, 16:21:49
and when I uploaded it into a server to try the code this is what it showed
Friday, Feb-15-2013, 19:21:59
Any reason why the date()is few hours ahead and the time is different when I upload to a server.....
I used the code P and e and Timezone identifier shows UTC with +00:00(GMT)
but I believe my GMT should be -08:00 or +08:00 I forgot.
Did I do anything wrong with the codes or just some settings I need to adjust with my computer? Because this happens to both my laptop and desktop.
Thanks in advance.
You should adjust timezone before accessing the date. In php there's a function to set the timezone
date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta"); //setting timezone
date("l, M-d-Y, H:i:s");
Here's the list of all timezone
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
Check your php.ini for date.timezone:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php#ini.date.timezone
e.g. date.timezone = "Europe/Berlin"
or you can use
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

I'm using date function $now=date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); in php 5.6.30,
The browser output is string(19) "2017-04-21 02:54:54",That's abnormal.
php.ini set is date.timezone = PRC
Centos 7 system time:
[root#localhost sync]# date
Fri Apr 21 14:53:20 CST 2017
While I was installed the PHP 7.0.16 in the same system, php.ini has the same config, but the date output normal in date function(is 24 digit time).
Why happen this and how to let the date normal working.
This is a timezone issue.
In your php.ini, you have the timezone PRC (China) set, but your system time output gives the time in CST (Amerika).
In other words:
Your PHP code does actually give you the 24-hour format, but in a different timezone, where it is in fact 02:54:54
If you need to get the time in a different timezone (like UTC), you can set it like that:
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
If you need a different local timezone, you can read about the possible values in the list of supported timezones in the PHP documentation
try this below code for date timezone
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Shanghai');
echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
?>
I'm add the code to php.ini date.timezone = Asia/Shanghai,
and install chrony and start it to synchronized. It works.
I'm having a problem with the PHP date function which I've never had a problem with before.
The timestamp is entirely correct, however for some bizarre reason date() is outputting a time which does not correspond.
I have the following timestamp (and this is definitely the correct one - when I echo it out onto the page, as well as in the database, it shows as being correct):
464400
Yet when I use the following line of code:
<?php echo date("H:i",$timestamp); ?>
I'm getting a time of 4 am? If I paste the timestamp into a timestamp converter website, then it shows the time should in fact be 9am.
I'm completely stuck, this has never happened to me before & this problem has only just come up recently - the code hasn't been changed and everything seemed to be working correctly before.
Does anyone have any experience with this issue? Any help would be appreciated.
That time stamp is is 9am GMT timezone, if you are in another timezone then you will need to adjust it accordingly.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');
or even better in your php.ini
http://php.net/manual/en/datetime.configuration.php
date.timezone="Europe/London"
Or you can use more specifically GMT instead of Europe/London (which has DST)
try this method will work
for time zone
http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
code
<?php
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
$dt2=date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
echo $dt2;
?>
try this
// set default timezone
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
//define unix timestamp
$timestamp = 1456778973;
// output
echo date('d M Y H:i:s',$timestamp);
Try this converter too http://freeonlinetools24.com/
For time zone: https://www.php.net/manual/en/timezones.php
date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago');
echo date("m/d/Y h:i:s A");
I am trying to convert 1355657846 and 1355677646 unix timestamp to Y-M-D H:i:s format.
The problem is in H:i:s . It should be
11:37:24 and 17:07:26 respectively but it is showing 12:37:24 and 18:07:26.
<?php
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s','1355657846');//2012-12-16 12:37:26,must be 11:37:26
echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s','1355677646');//2012-12-16 18:07:26,must be 17:07:26
?>
It should be 11:37 and 17:07 because I checked it in unix timestamp conversion
and also it is the time I had received mail in gmail account. And I got these unix timestamp from gmail( using php imap function...$overview->udate)
I am testing this on local xampp server.
Can anyone suggest me where I am going wrong here?
PS: I checked related question in stackoverflow, but here I want to convert timestamp to datetime, which I think should be constant irrespective of timezone.
It is definetily the timezone setting in your local web server.
Check the php.ini for date.timezone value.
It also may be overridden by htaccess file or you PHP script.
strtotime was included once DateTime was created. The parsing is dependant of the server default timezone.
If you want get your date with the good timezone, there are two ways :
default_timezone_set('Europe/Paris');//for example
or :
$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('U',$timestamp,new DateTimezone('Europe/Paris'));
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s);
you can find more informations here .
This is probably due to the TimeZone setting. Learn about PHP date_default_timezone_set() and make sure your local time zone matches the timezone you really want. All Unix Timestamps are the same world-wide. But the local DATETIME values vary around the globe. This article may be visible to you (hope so):

I am having an issue with "file_put_contents" when i run this code:
file_put_contents("/var/www/html/storage/views/temp", "helllo world");
It saves the file with a time 1hr in the future.
So where dose it get the time?
I have set php.ini date.timezone = "Europe/London" (as per system timezone) and that seems not to help
php.ini date.timezone option specifies which timezone PHP will use internally.
Most Unix/Linux system use UTC as hardware and then set the system clock to a given timezone.
You end-up with three different timezone, but it should be totally transparent.
Your problem may be due by the fact that your system timezone is different than your php timezone.
To check your system timezone, you can do date +%Z
Depending on your need you will either have to change your PHP timezone according to your system timezone, or convert the date of your timestamp to manage your file.
Excepting you've a good reason to do it, I suggest to adjust your php timezone with your system timezone.
file_put_contents gives the file the server time. That means, when looking at the timestamp of the file, the timezone of the server must be taken into account and must eventually be transformed to the timezone of the client.
On my linux machine date outputs: Thu Sep 20 11:23:28 CEST 2012 and thats the timestamp for the file also. When in CST timezone, you have to substract 7 hours from the the timestamp to get the creation time in CST.
You need to handle the timestamp value correctly, when you use it. Examine this:
<?php
$file = __DIR__ . '/test.dat';
file_put_contents($file, "hello world");
print(gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s T', filectime($file)) . "\n");
print(date('Y-m-d H:i:s T', filectime($file)) . "\n");
Output:
2012-09-20 09:29:17 GMT
2012-09-20 11:29:17 CEST
Depending on the specific date method you use, you can determine the desired output.
So the clock is 18:37 right now in sweden but it prints out 16:37 why is that?
$timestamp = time();
date('M d, H:i', $timestamp)
What can be wrong?
Your date.timezone setting in your php.ini file is incorrect. Make sure that it is set to the proper value for your timezone:
date.timezone = Europe/Stockholm
If you do not have access to the php.ini file, you can use date_default_timezone_set() to set it during runtime:
date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Stockholm');
For a list of supported timezones, refer to the PHP Documentation.
If it still doesn't work, make sure your server is set to the proper timezone. If you've set the time manually and the timezone is incorrect (but since the time has been corrected manually it still shows the proper time), PHP has no way to get the UTC time properly and therefore returns the incorrect time.
It is possible that your server is located in a time that is 2 hour back from you.
You can use this page of the documentation to fix the timezone issue.
Try a line like this:
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
Except, y'know, for Sweden.
