localtime

Description

The localtime() function returns an array identical to that of the structure returned by the C function call.

Parameters

associative

Determines whether the function should return a regular, numerically indexed array, or an associative one.

Return Values

If associative is set to false or not supplied then the array is returned as a regular, numerically indexed array. If associative is set to true then localtime() returns an associative array containing the elements of the structure returned by the C function call to localtime. The keys of the associative array are as follows:

• "tm_sec" - seconds, 0 to 59
• "tm_min" - minutes, 0 to 59
• "tm_hour" - hours, 0 to 23
• "tm_mday" - day of the month, 1 to 31
• "tm_mon" - month of the year, 0 (Jan) to 11 (Dec)
• "tm_year" - years since 1900
• "tm_wday" - day of the week, 0 (Sun) to 6 (Sat)
• "tm_yday" - day of the year, 0 to 365

• "tm_isdst" - is daylight savings time in effect?

  Positive if yes, 0 if not, negative if unknown.
