Code Examples / Notes » gmstrftime

neo

To get a RFC 850 date (used in HTTP) of the current time:
gmstrftime ("%A %d-%b-%y %T %Z", time ());
This will get for example:
Friday 25-Jun-04 03:30:23 GMT
Please note that times in HTTP-headers _must_ be GMT, so use gmstrftime() instead of strftime().

If you want the dutch time on your pages and you are hosted on a server in the USA you can easily change it this way:
setlocale(LC_TIME, 'nl_NL');
$tgl= gmstrftime("%d %B %Y - %H:%M uur",time()+3600);
Then use $tgl to display the right time.
Note the +3600 is a day light savings time correction.
The result: 22 maart 2005 - 16:39 uur
First I used the normal date function and this was the previous result: March 22, 2005 - 04:28 AM
I needed it for a dutch guestbook.
I'm new to PHP and it took me a while to find it out and maybe it's of no use for experienced PHP programmers but I thought people can always ignore my post :)

HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2068) requires an RFC 1123 date with a four digit year, so the correct format to use for a Last-modified header would look something like this:
<?php
header("Last-modified: " .
gmstrftime("%a, %d %b %Y %T %Z",getlastmod()));
?>


peter dot albertsson

gmstrftime() should not be used to generate a RFC 850 date for use in HTTP headers, since its output is affected by setlocale().
Use gmdate instead:
gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT';
