Okay, I don’t know the first thing about PHP (or any server-side for that matter…) I was wondering if anyone can help me put a small text clock that shows the current time in california (pacific time zone) no matter where the client is? Thanks a Bunch if you can ?

@CytaelJun 18.2006 — might try playing around with this:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date-default-timezone-set.php

untested:
[code=php]
<?php

date_default_timezone_set("US/Pacific");
echo "Current Pacific Time: " . Date("h:i a");

?>
[/code]

@TehShlockerauthorJun 18.2006 — Um... like I said in the title, I'm a n00b when it comes to this stuff...

Where exactly do I put that code?

@CytaelJun 18.2006 — wherever you want it to appear. Needs to be in a .php file, and server needs to support php, of course.

@TehShlockerauthorJun 18.2006 — Ok, so I'm a cheap bastard, and I'm using Freewebs.com.... I don't think they support php (since the only options under make a page are '.htm' and '.html') Know of any free hosters that allow php? if you don't, do you think you could help me in javascript?

@CytaelJun 18.2006 — I don't know of any free hosts that support php, and I'm nowhere near good enough with JS to help you over there, though there are probably many lurking about these boards who have the requisite skills. ?

@NogDogJun 18.2006 — First free PHP host I found via Google: http://www.agigforfree.com/

Here's an article on doing it via JavaScript: http://javascript.about.com/library/bltime1.htm

@SheldonJun 18.2006 — javascript will give you an active clock, where PHP will only update your clock when the pages is refreashed
