The Official Blog of Patcoola

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.

I don't always use the women's bathroom, but when I do, you can bet it really smells. If you like my blog, please 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>
