How to make a clock showing UK time but the whole application is working in India Time

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23536036

Question

I have the following Code -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function startTime() {
    var today=new Date();
    var h=today.getHours();
    var m=today.getMinutes();
    var s=today.getSeconds();
    m = checkTime(m);
    s = checkTime(s);
    document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML = h+":"+m+":"+s;
    var t = setTimeout(function(){startTime()},500);
}

function checkTime(i) {
    if (i<10) {i = "0" + i};  // add zero in front of numbers < 10
    return i;
}
</script>
</head>

<body onload="startTime()">

<div id="txt"></div>

</body>
</html>

This code was refrenced from w3schools. But this code takes time from our system. But I want a javascript or server side method in PHP in which I can show UK time at the top of my page. It is easy to do so If I change the timezone to UK time in my config file but I want India time everywhere except that clock at the top of the page.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Simply use getUTCDate or toUTCString

var d = new Date(); // local date
var n = d.getUTCDate(); // utc date

to get full date string

var d = new Date(); 
var n = d.toUTCString();

OTHER TIPS

Use getUTCDate() and the related getUTC...() methods to access a time based off UTC time, and then convert.
