R&D 2014-10-20: Sync Server Time with JavaScript

Important!

Dear visitors,

This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.

We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.

At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.

Thank you for understanding.

Using the PHP’s time() function to set the date in JavaScript. Useful for when the Website would like the visitor to be able to view the same date and time that the Website has.

In JavaScript we need to assign the argument zero to new Date(), then use the setTime() function with the server time multiplied by 1000.

Hi there, I spend a lot of time making this blog.

It would be great if you would consider donating.


Code:

<?php

$serverTime = time()+1; // plus 1 to offset for a delay

?>

<script>

var d = new Date(0); // important must have the value 0
var t = <?php ECHO $serverTime; ?>;

d.setTime(t*1000);

</script>
