localtime — Get the local time
Description
$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
timestampparameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if atimestampis not given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(). -
is_associative -
If set to
FALSEor not supplied then the array is returned as a regular, numerically indexed array. If the argument is set toTRUEthen 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.
