If you run the commands a few times over the course of at most 60 seconds, you can probably decipher the format yourself. Smilie

Their respective man pages have the answers as well.

localtime - perldoc.perl.org
ctime

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
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+ |Version | | | | | | | Description | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ | 5.1.0 | | | | | | | Now issues the E_STRICT and E_NOTICE time zone | | | errors. | | | | +--------+---------------------------------------------------+ EXAMPLES
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
