PHP time（）函数给我错误的时间[关闭]

Question

I am using the following PHP code to get the current time.

$time = time();
echo date('h:m:s A',$time);

The time returned is the wrong time. The current time is 05:14:33 PM on my computer and this function is showing 12:03:02 PM.

Why it is giving the wrong time and how can I get PHP to give the right time?

Answer 1

time() gives the number of seconds since 1 Jan 1970 UTC. This is read from the internal clock in your OS/computer. date() gives you the date on a timestamp in the default timezone.

Use date_default_timezone_set and date_default_timezone_get to check/set the correct timezone.

Alternatively you can set the default timezone in your php.ini
