get user time & date

[RobbieC255]

Hi there, I've been looking for a solution for this for ages and I'm getting really desperate...

I need to get the date and time of the local users computer and put them into a variable that I can check...

I can do this in javascript:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
var localuserdate = new Date()
var monthname=new Array("Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec")
document.write((localuserdate.getDate()) + (" ") + (monthname[localuserdate.getMonth()]))
</script>

but I cannot then create a string from this that I can use in the php. I need to be able to store the variable in the session rather than write it to the page.

I know this sounds weird, but I need this page to display different info based on what the user has their clock set to...

Can anybody help me?

Thanks

You may need to use an ajax type function.

Yes, ajax is the way to go if you need to update part of the page after it's rendered.
