Code: Select all
$current_date = date('Y-m-d');
$current_time = date('G:i:s');
$current_time = date('G:i:s', strtotime("+8 hours", strtotime($current_time)));
now i can retrieve the current time. but how to retrieve the current date...?
thanks in advance...

The first line of that code should give the current date...?

ok... like now in my country, the date is 2009-01-10.
but when i echo the first line, the date is 2009-01-09.
so how to make it when the time + 8 hours, the date will be auto adjusted to 2009-01-10...?

Take a look at
date_default_timezone_set for adjusting your timezone.

it is works... thanks for helping....
this method is easier to echo the date and time... i even don't need to add 8 hours for the time.....
