time:

two methods:
1. you can either use the time() function within php which will give you the time that the relevant line of the script is called.
2. you can use the $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'] superglobal. (only available in php 5.1.0 and above.

user IP

use the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] superglobal

hello
thanks for this....

my server is not 5.1 or above.... so please describe the first method in detail....

thanks again
bye

the function time() returns the current unix timestamp.

echo "current time is ". time();

you can insert the timestamp into a database or parse into a human readable form for display (see the php.net section on date and time functions for how to do the latter).

It might be worthwhile pointing out that the IP address is unreliable when used accross the web unless of course your sure that it is valid, for example in a company intranet.

Hi,

regardind time maybe is better to use:

date('Y-m-d H:i');


you will get
current year-month-day hour-minute

hello
I think u people r not getting my point... by using time or date function i'll get the time of the server.. i want to get the time of the client....that, what is the time of the ISP using by a certain user.
bye

more difficult i believe.

i'd suggest using some javascript to add the time to a form variable or to the url when the link to the next page was clicked. this will not be the time of the client's ISP but the time of the client's computer.

I do not know a way of obtaining the time of the client's ISP.
