you can try this script and see if it is something you want. i use it on one of my sites and it works great. i pieced it together from a couple different scripts i had found a while back.


Code Select
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;
function stopclock (){
if(timerRunning)
clearTimeout(timerID);
timerRunning = false;
}
function showtime () {
var now = new Date();
var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
var seconds = now.getSeconds()
var timeValue = "" + ((hours >12) ? hours -12 :hours)
if (timeValue == "0") timeValue = 12;
timeValue += ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes
timeValue += ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds
timeValue += (hours >= 12) ? " P.M." : " A.M."
document.clock.face.value = timeValue;
timerID = setTimeout("showtime()",1000);
timerRunning = true;
}
function startclock() {
stopclock();
showtime();
}
var months=new Array(13);
months[1]="January";
months[2]="February";
months[3]="March";
months[4]="April";
months[5]="May";
months[6]="June";
months[7]="July";
months[8]="August";
months[9]="September";
months[10]="October";
months[11]="November";
months[12]="December";
var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();
if (year < 2000)    // Y2K Fix, Isaac Powell
year = year + 1900; // http://onyx.idbsu.edu/~ipowell
document.write("<center>" + lmonth + " ");
document.write(date + ", " + year + "</center>");
// End -->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY onLoad="startclock()">
<CENTER>
<FORM name="clock">
<input type="text" name="face" size=13 value="">
</FORM>
</CENTER>

the thing with php is that when you use the date() function it pulls the time off the server. if you have access to the the php.ini file you can find the variable date.timezone"", and put your timezone in the "". or you can use a code as such

Code Select

$h = "5";// Hour for time zone goes here e.g. +7 or -4, just remove the + or -
$hm = $h * 60;
$ms = $hm * 60;
$gmdate = gmdate("m/d/Y g:i:s A", time()-($ms)); // the "-" can be switched to a plus if that's what your time zone is.
echo "Your current time now is :  $gmdate . ";


this code will take the server time and + or - the value that you set(didn't write it, just found it on the net). you can also play with the gmdate so that it displays what you want it to.

hope it helps

Thanks ... Great script RBH ...

I just modified it a little bit ...

  • took out the form element ... i wanted the clock to show in a <div></div> instead of an input box.
  • took out the onpageload="" this makes it easier to put the clock in.
  • just take this code snippet and instert it anywhere in your template or in an html block where you want the date and time.


Code Select

<div id="daClock"></div>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var months=new Array(13);
months[1]="January";
months[2]="February";
months[3]="March";
months[4]="April";
months[5]="May";
months[6]="June";
months[7]="July";
months[8]="August";
months[9]="September";
months[10]="October";
months[11]="November";
months[12]="December";
var time=new Date();
var lmonth=months[time.getMonth() + 1];
var date=time.getDate();
var year=time.getYear();

if (year < 2000)    // Y2K Fix, Isaac Powell
year = year + 1900; // http://onyx.idbsu.edu/~ipowell

var timerID = null;
var timerRunning = false;

function showtime () {
var now = new Date();
var hours = now.getHours();
var minutes = now.getMinutes();
var seconds = now.getSeconds()
var timeValue = "" + ((hours >12) ? hours -12 :hours)
if (timeValue == "0") timeValue = 12;
timeValue += ((minutes < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + minutes
timeValue += ((seconds < 10) ? ":0" : ":") + seconds
timeValue += (hours >= 12) ? " P.M." : " A.M."
document.getElementById("daClock").innerHTML = lmonth + " " + date + ", " + year + " &nbsp;&nbsp; " + timeValue;
timerID = setTimeout("showtime()",1000);
timerRunning = true;
}

showtime();
// End -->
