Thanx for your input about date & time...

Here's some functions that worked for me after some searching... function currenttime() { -snip- lot's of code.

Hi Gustav: Not meaning to embarrass, but your code could be shortened considerably by using date(), like so: Your lengthy -- function currenttime() can be replaced simply with: echo("Date: " . date('Y\-\ m\-\ d') . "<br/>" ); and your -- function currentdate() can be replaced with:

    echo("Time: " . date('h\:\ i\:\ s') . "<br/>" );

If you don't like the spaces in the output, then strip them out, like so:

    $date = date('Y\-\ m\-\ d');
    $date = str_replace(" ", "", $date);
    echo("Date: " . $date. "<br/>" );

and

    $date = date('h\:\ i\:\ s') ;
    $date = str_replace(" ", "", $date);
    echo("Time: " . $date. "<br/>" );

Hi there! I've now done coding like this... function currenttime() { $t = date('h\:\ i\:\ s'); $returnTime = str_replace(" ", "", $t); return $returnTime; } function currentdate() { $d = date('Y\-\ m\-\ d'); $returnDate = str_replace(" ", "", $d); return $returnDate; } $insertTime = currenttime(); $insertDate = currentdate(); I'm a swede, and I we use hours 0 - 24. 8 pm = 20 for us. 9 pm = 21 for us 10 pm = 22... and so on... But with date()-function there is 10 pm that shows (and I want 22 to show instead) I'm using PHP 4.0.3... Do I have to use getdate() then? (getdate()-function showed 22...) /G
