LOCALTIME(3) 1 LOCALTIME(3) localtime - Get the local time SYNOPSIS
array localtime ([int $timestamp = time()], [bool $is_associative = false]) DESCRIPTION
The localtime(3) function returns an array identical to that of the structure returned by the C function call. PARAMETERS
o $timestamp - The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3). o $is_associative - If set to FALSE or not supplied then the array is returned as a regular, numerically indexed array. If the argument is set to TRUE then localtime(3) returns an associative array containing all the different elements of the structure returned by the C func- tion call to localtime. The names of the different keys of the associative array are as follows: o "tm_sec" - seconds, 0 to 59 o "tm_min" - minutes, 0 to 59 o "tm_hour" - hours, 0 to 23 o "tm_mday" - day of the month, 1 to 31 o "tm_mon" - month of the year, 0 (Jan) to 11 (Dec) o "tm_year" - years since 1900 o "tm_wday" - day of the week, 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat) o "tm_yday" - day of the year, 0 to 365 o "tm_isdst" - is daylight savings time in effect? Positive if yes, 0 if not, negative if unknown. ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the $TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set(3) CHANGELOG

Example #1 localtime(3) example <?php $localtime = localtime(); $localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true); print_r($localtime); print_r($localtime_assoc); ?> The above example will output something similar to: Array ( [0] => 24 [1] => 3 [2] => 19 [3] => 3 [4] => 3 [5] => 105 [6] => 0 [7] => 92 [8] => 1 ) Array ( [tm_sec] => 24 [tm_min] => 3 [tm_hour] => 19 [tm_mday] => 3 [tm_mon] => 3 [tm_year] => 105 [tm_wday] => 0 [tm_yday] => 92 [tm_isdst] => 1 ) SEE ALSO

IDATE(3) 1 IDATE(3) idate - Format a local time/date as integer SYNOPSIS
int idate (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()]) DESCRIPTION
Returns a number formatted according to the given format string using the given integer $timestamp or the current local time if no time- stamp is given. In other words, $timestamp is optional and defaults to the value of time(3). Unlike the function date(3), idate(3) accepts just one char in the $format parameter. PARAMETERS
o $format - The following characters are recognized in the $format parameter string +------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ |$format character | | | | | | | Description | | | | +------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ | | | | B | | | | | | | Swatch Beat/Internet Time | | | | | | | | d | | | | | | | Day of the month | | | | | | | | h | | | | | | | Hour (12 hour format) | | | | | | | | H | | | | | | | Hour (24 hour format) | | | | | | | | i | | | | | | | Minutes | | | | | | | | I (uppercase i) | | | | | | | returns 1 if DST is activated, 0 otherwise | | | | | | | | L (uppercase l) | | | | | | | returns 1 for leap year, 0 otherwise | | | | | | | | m | | | | | | | Month number | | | | | | | | s | | | | | | | Seconds | | | | | | | | t | | | | | | | Days in current month | | | | | | | | U | | | | | | | Seconds since the Unix Epoch - January 1 1970 | | | 00:00:00 UTC - this is the same as time(3) | | | | | | | | w | | | | | | | Day of the week ( 0 on Sunday) | | | | | | | | W | | | | | | | ISO-8601 week number of year, weeks starting on | | | Monday | | | | | | | | y | | | | | | | Year (1 or 2 digits - check note below) | | | | | | | | Y | | | | | | | Year (4 digits) | | | | | | | | z | | | | | | | Day of the year | | | | | | | | Z | | | | | | | Timezone offset in seconds | | | | +------------------+---------------------------------------------------+ o $timestamp - The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3). RETURN VALUES
Returns an integer. As idate(3) always returns an integer and as they can't start with a "0", idate(3) may return fewer digits than you would expect. See the example below. ERRORS
/EXCEPTIONS Every call to a date/time function will generate a E_NOTICE if the time zone is not valid, and/or a E_STRICT or E_WARNING message if using the system settings or the $TZ environment variable. See also date_default_timezone_set(3) CHANGELOG

Example #1 idate(3) example <?php $timestamp = strtotime('1st January 2004'); //1072915200 // this prints the year in a two digit format // however, as this would start with a "0", it // only prints "4" echo idate('y', $timestamp); ?> SEE ALSO
