PHP localtime() Function
What is a local time Function?
Explanation
The "localtime()" function is used return an array that contains the locale time.
localtime(timestamp,is_associative)
In the above syntax the parameters for the function "is_associative" returns a value in an associative array the different elements of localtime, "timestamp" is an optional field, when not specified it takes the current local time.
<?php
$localtime = localtime();
$localtime_assoc = localtime(time(), true);
print_r($localtime);
print_r($localtime_assoc);
?> Result :
Array
(
[0] => 28
[1] => 35
[2] => 13
[3] => 25
[4] => 0
[5] => 106
[6] => 3
[7] => 24
[8] => 0
)
Array
(
[tm_sec] => 28
[tm_min] => 35
[tm_hour] => 13
[tm_mday] => 25
[tm_mon] => 0
[tm_year] => 106
[tm_wday] => 3
[tm_yday] => 24
[tm_isdst] => 0
)
In the above example the localtime() function first returns the values without specifying the fields, in the second output the array is specific to what it returns, since time() is used.
