localtime — Get the local time
Description
array localtime ([ int $timestamp = time() [, bool $is_associative = false ]] )
The localtime() function returns an array identical to that of the structure returned by the C function call.
Parameters
-
timestamp
-
The optional
timestamp
parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if atimestamp
is not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(). -
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 toTRUE
then localtime() returns an associative array containing all the different elements of the structure returned by the C function call to localtime. The names of the different keys of the associative array are as follows:- "tm_sec" - seconds, 0 to 59
- "tm_min" - minutes, 0 to 59
- "tm_hour" - hours, 0 to 23
- "tm_mday" - day of the month, 1 to 31
- "tm_mon" - month of the year, 0 (Jan) to 11 (Dec)
- "tm_year" - years since 1900
- "tm_wday" - day of the week, 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat)
- "tm_yday" - day of the year, 0 to 365
- "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()

Examples
Example #1 localtime() 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 )
