detect server time

[dwlerwill]

Hi All

I have an online game in PHP I made but my webhost has decided to suddenly disable scedualed tasks to save server load so I need a bit of help.

Until I move to a new server I was thinking of changing the game login script to check a mysql table to see the date the last update took place and if it was not today run the script (this is not a problem)

My question is the time function is PHP is it server or client side time it shows (As if client it could run the scripts multiple time in one day)

Hopefully someone knows.

Thank you

Since PHP is a server-side language the date function will show the server's Date not the client's.
