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.
