time variable

[lankinator]

i have this code:

strftime("%d/%m/%y %H:%M",time()) 

the time() part returns the time for America (i think thats the server time).
Could anybody please provide a way of making the time() part return the time for london?


thanks

In PHP5:

date_create('now', new DateTimeZone('BST'))->format("d-m-Y G:i");

[lankinator]

could it be in: PHP, PHP3, and PHTML scripts?

as the sever only supports them...

As long as the server has PHP 5+ installed, it can be whatever extension you want to make it (as long as it is parsed as a PHP script).

So basically you're saying PHP5 is not installed on your server...

[Twey]

That's fine, the .php extension will handle it (it's probably PHP4).

The extension of a PHP script doesn't in any way define the version of PHP in use: PHP 5 can quite easily parse a file ending ".php3".

If you want to be useful, actually state what version of PHP your host uses. This information is normally available in the response headers. This can also be found in the document generated by the phpinfo function, and from the phpversion function.

i stated there that it only has php3, php, phtml installed

twey, i get the following error:
[b]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ',' or ';' in \\192.168.0.16\webfiles\files\2007-1\1253297\user_pages\user.php on line 1[/b[

No, you stated what file extensions will effect parsing as PHP on your server. That has no bearing on what version of PHP is installed.

This is due to the failings of PHP as a language: the DateTime object needs to be assigned to a variable before one of its methods can be called.

$date = new DateTime('now', new DateTimeZone('BST'));
echo $date->format('d-m-Y G:i');
