Display Time Using PHP?
How to display time using PHP? This tutorial will show you how to do it.
To display time, we use function date(). But you need to format it by choose
the formatting options. For example, if you want to display a time like "14:25:06",
you need to write the PHP code like this:
date("H:i:s");
In this example, "H" represents 24-hour format of an hour with leading
zeros 00 through 23; "i" means minutes with leading zeros 00 to 59;
and "s" is for seconds, with leading zeros 00 through 59.
So when you have:
echo date("H:i:s");
The output will be something like:
14:25:06
Or if you want to have the output like "2:25:06 pm", change the above
code to:
date("h:i:s a");
Here is a list the formatting options for time 14:25:06:
| Code |
Output |
| date("H:i:s"); |
14:25:06 |
| date("H:i:s A"); |
14:25:06 PM |
| date("h:i:s a"); |
02:25:06 pm |
| date("g-i-s a"); |
2-25-06 pm |
As you can see, you can change the position of the format character to modify
the output format. For example:
date("h:i:s a");
and
date("h-i-s a");
use the same characters, but the positions are different. So the output strings
are different:
02:25:06 pm
02-25-06 pm
