displaying time and date

[AffordableDomainsCanada]

I have created a page using the php and tpl method.

 

I am trying to display the server time, so I am using this:

 

{$smarty.now|date_format:'%A, %B %d/%Y - %H:%M:%S %Z '}

 

Does this display the server time? or the users local time ?

 

I am trying to get the server time and date being displayed but its showing an hour behind.

This is the page I am working on,

 

http://www.affordabledomains.ca/support.php

 

its showing CST but I am in EST and the server timezone is EST also..

it should be the server time.. well, the time based on the server's php settings.

you could define the timezone in your php file...

 

http://uk1.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

 

alternatively, if CST is always one hour behind EST, and your server thinks it's in EST, you could use the following code in Smarty...

 

{'+1 hour'|strtotime|date_format:'%A, %B %d/%Y - %H:%M:%S EST'}

This worked perfectly! thank you.

I dare to ask here instead opening a ticket or a new thread: why whmcs uses another timestamp instead server's time ? -2h difference.

# date
Mon Dec  7 12:31:21 EET 2015

WHMCS displays: Monday, 07 December 2015, 10:32

you may need to set the preferred time zone in WHMCS configuration.php

 

http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

 

date_default_timezone_set('America/Los_Angeles');

Thanks mate, it did the trick even if the value is already declared in php.ini (root folder & server) so there were 2 ways to have WHMCS correctly read it.

Cheers!

<a href="http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php</a>

 

date_default_timezone_set('America/Toronto');

 

This fixed my timezone issue, now I am using

 

{$smarty.now|date_format:'%A, %B %d/%Y - %H:%M:%S %Z '}

so I need to change this..

 

{if '+1 hour'|strtotime|date_format:'%H' gte 8 AND '+1 hour'|strtotime|date_format:'%H' lt 20}

 

Any ideas ?
