[Fareast Adam]

I've a field in a table that datatype's type datetime. Here i want to get current server GMT time before insert into db. Any idea why this code always give me result in am although the present time is pm?

Sample result: 18/09/2007 01:29:04 am

here the php code;

[PHP]$time = gmdate('Y-m-d h:i:s', mktime(gmdate(' GMT') + 8));[/PHP]

Are you using your local, machine as your server? or where is your server located? You know what is gmdate(), right?

Ya i used localhost as my server. Sorry for any mistaken!

I'm not to sure what you are doing with mktime(), gmdate(), or the +8, but I'm fairly sure you didn't read the documentation very well. Don't worry... I'm feeling nice today. Try this (not tested):

[php]gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+8 hours'));[/php]

Just so you know, strtotime() is awesome. :P
