Retrieving system date in PHP

Question

How do I get the system date and time in this format:

$systime="12/january/2010 10.30 AM " 

Answer 1

date() and time()

Answer 2

To get exactly what you've asked for, you'll need to use strtolower() and date:

$systime = strtolower(date("d/F/Y G.i")) . " " . date("A") . " ";

You need strtolower because there's no built-in way to get lowercase month values, so you need to get that part as January and then transform it to lowercase. You can't lowercase the whole thing because you seem to want AM or PM rather than am or pm.

Answer 3

Try:

$systime = date('d/F/o g i A');

Sample output:

05/March/2010 7 27 AM

Answer 4

Using date and strftime() we can get the system date.

Example:

echo date("d/F/Y g:i A");//It prints 05/March/2010 12:18 PM

echo strftime("%d/%B/%Y %I:%M %p"); //It prints  05/March/2010 12:20 PM
