note 95834 added to function.date

if you wish to output a local time, instead of using date_default_timezone_get() and date_default_timezone_set() to manipulate your current timezone, simply create a new DateTime object: $timezone = new DateTimeZone( "Europe/London" ); $date = new DateTime(); $date->setTimezone( $timezone ); echo $date->format( 'H:i:s A / D, M jS, Y' ); -> 22:59:34 PM / Sun, Jan 24th, 2010 Irrespective of current server location, this will output the local time in London, Europe. No need to reset the server timezone back to the previous setting. ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 74.221.136.242 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95834 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95834 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95834 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
